December 13, 2013

Snow week.

We live in a wonderful area.  Not too hot, not too cold.  Winters are wet but rarely with temperatures below freezing.  We might get snow once a year but it usually melts within 24 hours.   Not this time.  It snowed and then it was sunny, dry, and cold for a week (low of 7 degrees?).  The snow on the road packed which people (ME!) don't have a lot of experience driving on.  Public school was cancelled day after day.  Even church was cancelled - gasp!  We tried to continue with homeschool but it didn't always happen as planned.

Yesterday it rained and today the high reached 50 F.  Dad went back to work, sister returned to public school, and other sister was at a friend's house.  11yo and I got something done even with her constant crocheting.  Deo gratias!

Math 5 - 52/170  Division with two-digit divisors.
English 4 - adjectives- identifying, diagraming, comparative
Prima Latina - 9/25  We are going through this quickly before passing it on.  Lively Latin is on hold.

Classical Studies - Genseric the Vandal
Christian Studies - 21 Making of the Golden Calf
Geography - short! video about Lebanon
American/State History - R&S 5 Homelands of North America (1-4).  American and Canadian geography.
Science - 21 Using Machines to Perform Work, 22 Simple Machines: The Lever and the Inclined Plane

We are reading through Usborne's First Encyclopedia of the Human Body and Peter and the Starcatchers.

11yo has started reading Tales of the Odyssey by Mary Pope Osborne to me at bedtime.  It's nice to be on the receiving end of a read aloud. : )
