October 12, 2013

Goals - start R&S Math 5 in November.  Move quickly through R&S English 4 and hopefully start English 5 in March 2014.

Math - smoking! I looked through the book and determined that the amount of review in Rod & Staff would allow us to combine or skip lessons.  Three weeks = lessons 115-140 (8 skipped).  Finished adding and subtracting fractions, large quotients in division, introduction to decimals.
Spelling - reviewing lessons one and two from LOE, moving through Level 3 words. Increased the number of words from 5 to 10.
English - speeding up by doing a lesson and worksheet on the same day. Nouns (common and proper)
Latin - other subjects, subject and verb agreement
Composition - ahem, first thing that was dropped with lice infestation

Sayings - finishing the first grade list (ex: Let the cat out of the bag, The more the merrier, Never leave till tomorrow what you can do today).
Literature Studies -
Classical Studies - still reading D'Aulaire's Norse Myths. "Nord, Frey, and Freya"
Christian Studies - Moses.  Currently reading about the ten plagues.
World History - the beginning of civilization.  All Usborne books - World History, Ancient World, and Encyclopedia of the Ancient World.
American/State History - tribal regions (Columbia River, Great Basin, Klamath Lakes, Plateau) in Get Oregonized.
Science - metamorphosis/butterfly, insects.
Art -
Music - Mozart in The Story of the Orchestra, Lives of the Musicians, and What Your First Grader Needs to Know.  Listened to - Eine Kleine Nacht Musik, Overture to the Marriage of Figaro, Rondo All Turca, and Ah vous dirai je maman!
