What We’ve Accomplished Today…07/19/10

Today went much more smoothly than did Thursday and Friday. Although school was 'done' both of those days, it wasn't done the way we usually do and not very uh, thoroughly, I might add. Today was better :)

Latin:

Started Lesson 2, text pages 12 & 13, did Latin Saying (Stabat Mater- The Mother is standing), imperfect present tense ba (imperfect in Latin means 'not finished'), vocabulary, and worksheet 1 & 2, sections I-III.

Lee:

2Corinthians 5:17

BoB: Read pages ***45-49 (last full paragraph) aloud with mom. Tough to stay focused with this book...

LoFPA: Chapters 1-4

F&WM: Second half of chapter 11; growth.

Writing: Wrote a couplet poem.

Our Family

This is a poem about our family

Which is quite silly, don't you agree?

The dad of the family is Mike

Who is someone you can like.

And then there's the mom, Blossom,

As far as moms go, I think she's awesome!

As for the children, there's Colleen

The big sister who's not too mean.

The little brother is Jeffery

Annoying, but such a sweet pea.

The pet is a cat called Kawaii

Who we got last year in July.

Now you know about everyone

and this poem is done.

I thought it was cute :)

WHtPC?: Chapter 5- Revolutions, Elections and Printing Presses. In her words: "In countries where they do not have democracy they do not raise taxes to raise more money for fear of revolutions. In the US, with the elections, they promise whatever the people want so that when they are elected, they increase the prices of things to try to make the money to make the promises come true. And about printing presses they use the Federal Reserve, but it didn't explain how that worked..."

Reading: Watership Down.

Fox:

Psalms 1:1-3

TCoO: Jackson-"Liberty and Union, Now and Forever"- Van Buren- Hard Times. He didn't read all that he was supposed to so next time there will be more...

OUC: Read pages 38-40 (?) it wasn't what was scheduled but we misplaced his schedule at just that moment coincidentally... He narrated after.

CBoM: Chapter XV: Iguazu Falls; didn't do his notebook page this time.

TGSET: Read chapter 9 -Command From Rome

LoFP&D: Chapters 3 & 4
