We’re sitting at the hospital (yay for wireless). Dad is a bit worse today, still on the ventilator and sedated so he’ll rest. Looks like I’ll be here quite a lot this week.
We brought Connor and his schoolwork and he did a good job with all of it. I’ll have to come up with something else for the rest of the week.
Guess that’s it for now.
Life got busy last week. But here’s my weekly report.
Math – he completed 3 lessons in Life of Fred. I can’t tell if he’s liking it or not yet
Writing – he completed Assignment 3 in the IEW Ancient History writing.
Kingfisher – he read the 2 pages and wrote a short essay on cuneiform and one on ziggurats, along with a picture. His writing is pretty good. (I ordered TRISMS this week, we’ll see if that works better)
Vocabulary A – he finished lesson 2 and did very well this time. (He wasn’t really trying with lesson 1)
Grammar – he looked over the list of prepositions and wrote some sentences using them, this week we begin the Easy Grammar Plus workbook
Literature – he says he read Gilgamesh. We’ll go over that again this week
Free reading – he read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and enjoyed it. I explained to his dad that I would like to see him read more just to get the habit of reading and understand that you can start a book with words you don’t understand (either because it’s sci-fi, fantasy, or older) and lots of characters you don’t know and if you stick with it you will start to understand the words (either check a dictionary or use context) and know the characters. His dad asked if I meant the classics. I said “I’ll take care of the classics” I just want him to get some reading under his belt. So this weekend, his dad bought him a book. Pretty cool.
That’s in for now.
