Anxiety? I've felt overwhelmed this week, and I seem to be shutting down. One of my girls has a joined a team at the high school which means after school games and practices. Another has added a driver's ed course. And 12yo restarted swimming lessons this week. And that's just part of the picture.
Really hoping I can overcome my anxiety this coming week, so I'm not so paralyzed.
This week has been a "at least do something" kind of week.
Current Events - CNN Student News has been the most consistent thing this week, and we started the newest edition of Newsademic Thursday evening.
Math & Grammar - we did one lesson in each subject. Eek.
Latin - We have jumped back into Lively Latin Big Book 1. Love it! Love the videos. Love the book.
We are in lesson 11 which will hopefully be a bit of a review. We've already learned about the future tense and Camillus.
American History - we backed up to the beginning of A History of US Volume 2. It's been fun to read.
The origins of Western Civilization (Middle East, Greece, Rome) and the founding of Jamestown in 1607.
World History - bouncing all over the place on the timeline. I definitely don't have a good chronological grasp when it comes to ancient history.
K12's The Human Odyssey - Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon
Calliope magazine - Mesopotamia: The Land of Firsts - Sumer, Ur, Cuneiform, Gilgamesh, Early Farming, Akkadians/Sargon ...
Usborne Internet Linked Encyclopedia of the Ancient World - (we have read these pages too many times!) The First Empires, The Rise of Babylon, Allies and Enemies.
Core Knowledge - Christianity (grade 1)
Science - During the holidays I made an order to Memoria Press and one of the items I bought was The Book of Astronomy set. We are enjoying an introduction to night skies through constellations.
The Summer Triangle - Lyra/Lyre, Aquila/Eagle, and Cygnus/Swan.
