What We've Accomplished Today...09/08/10

Got everything done! At 8:20 pm... I so wanted to just get it all done, all things checked off. The kids were annoyed with me heehee... I giggle now but I don't guess I thought it was funny then. They always 'come around' after awhile though. So here's what we've accomplished today...

Both:

Bible: Exodus 13 (after Passover and the Israelites go into the wilderness)

Verses: Lee: Hebrews 10:24 & 25 (forsake not the gathering together as is the custom of some...); Fox 1 Peter 3:15 (be ready to give a defense of your hope in the Lord...)

Natural History: Slum Kitten chapter VI (yay! things are looking up for Slum Kitty! She gets fattened up and has a nice thick coat of beautiful fur. She is falsely entered into a Cat Show under the false pretense she is a pedigreed "Royal Analostan" cat...which doesn't really exist...and wins first place. Reading Jap Malee's words out loud are hilarious!)

Plutarch's Lives: Julius Caesar (... tide is turning against Caesar which is surprising from what we've read up to this point. Money-grubbing, power-hungriness will get ya every time...Pompey and Caesar both suffered from these and are fighting against each other.)

Writing: Fox: My Access; Lee: The Black Hand story

Latin: Review for and take Quiz for Lesson V (Fox didn't take the Quiz yet...needs a bit more review so will take it tomorrow)

Reading: Lee: Prince Caspian; Fox: Passion for the Impossible, Abraham Lincoln's World, Age of Fable

Math: LoF: Lee: BA- she had decided to use the Home Companion because it gives more 'instruction' and more exercises/problems to help her understand what she is doing more. She did Lesson 34 in the HC. Fox: D&P chapters 31 & 32

Lee:

Geography: The Brendan Voyage: pages 148-154

Health: Fearfully & Wonderfully Made; first half of Chapter 15 (skin)

History/Geography: World Studies- started Chapter 4 and yay! finally copied events/people/dates to our timeline

Japanese: Review of Lessons/Units 1 & 2 from Conversational Japanese (listened to the audio tapes)

Computers: Web Design for Kids: started to watch this...learned basic 10 lines of HTML and also how to change colors. She wanted to continue to watch and do the things from this but I had to cut it short so we could get the other school stuff done.

Fox:

History/Geography: The Story of the World chapter 9 (oops, forgot the timeline and maps... will do them tomorrow with This Country of Ours)

Geography: The Complete Book of Marvels- Chapter 26: The Magic Grotto & notebook page.

Biblical Studies (?): The Greatest Story Ever Told chapter 23

I personally got my bathroom cleaned! :) Vacuumed downstairs carpets and ew, cobwebs from corners. I have also been reading some more of Volume 6 of Charlotte Mason's books. That's our day :) I think it is just about done now. I hope the insomnia will not find me tonight because I need some sleep.
