Worksheets were a great way to get back into the swing of things. But. Since they don't align with any curriculum we use we often come across things 11yo hasn't been taught yet. They are becoming more of a frustration than a help. For now we have dropped reading comprehension and grammar minutes. We'll probably use them again next year in preparation for testing.
The overall goal right now is to plod along. Just do it.
We are getting close to the end of Rod & Staff 3. Love their Science lessons. And, I will love shipping off another set of books. R&S is great when money is in short supply but boy does it ever take up room in the house.
We are back to full blown math lessons. Blarh! They take forever. 11yo dreads them so she drags her feet. Can't convince her to pick up the pace and get it over with.
Playing Animal Jam has definitely helped with spelling. We've been reviewing past lessons and are ready to move on. Still tempted to switch from AAS to Logic of English. However, I already own most of the AAS levels and from what I can tell the phonograms are slightly different. I don't want to confuse her. And then there is the argument that we would be able to move through LOE more quickly.
Rambling. :)
