Day #104- Could Have Used A Substitute Teacher

Monday I posted the goals for the day and I’m happy to put here that all were accomplished {with the exception of dishes- the sink wasn’t quite fixed}.

Yesterday, although there were goals, I didn’t post anything here because well, I was on the couch almost all day with a fever and just being sick. It was a day that a substitute teacher would have been nice to have.

As it turned out only a few subjects were left by the wayside. Latin, Artist Study and Composer Study. We are getting a bit too far behind in the Latin for my liking, though. We did listen to WCLV almost all day. It was so soothing for me and put me right to sleep a couple of times. When I wasn’t sleeping I watched an episode of Sherlock, on PBS {Season 1, The Blind Banker}. Quite good, I thought.

By around 7:00 pm I was feeling somewhat ‘alive’ and attempted to do some dishes. I didn’t get very far {the kids helped me some as well} but the sink is indeed fixed. What I could not do oh so long ago, my dear, dear hubby could do in just a short amount of time. I love that man

Here is what the kids were able to do almost entirely on their own {with a few “Mom…?” moments}:

Fox
Bible: Reading (John 1); verse (Romans 12:1-2)
Science: Murche’s Lesson 41 (digestion); School of the Woods (chapter 9)
Language Arts: Jensen’s Grammar (Lesson 14)
Math: -
History/Geography: Heritage History Classical Curriculum (The Story of the Greeks chapters 68-70); Alexander the Great by Abbot (read this in its entirety this week and next- might stretch a bit farther

Lee
Bible: Reading (Acts 26); verse (Colossians 3:1-16); Mark Commentary (says she will be done 1/25)
Math: Life of Fred Beginning Algebra (Lesson 107)
Language Arts: Excellence in Literature (reading Around the World in 80 Days); History of English Literature (chapter 49)
Science: Biology (read chapter 7.5 outline and pages 126-127 in book)
Govt/Citizenship/Logic: Current Events; Utopia
History/Geography: Western Civilization (writing about the role of husbands and wives during the religious reformations of the 16th century)

We’ve yet to see what we can do today. I’m feeling somewhat human but Lee woke with a headache {which is how my illness started almost a week ago}.
