An afternoon appointment here, an afternoon appointment there and suddenly you realize your weekly plan has been sabotaged. I have accepted that we lose a couple of hours prepping for and driving to swimming lessons each week , but I made the mistake of scheduling short appointments during school hours this week. In trying to accommodate others, I robbed 12yo of education/learning hours.
And then there is the stomach bug which is creeping up on us. So far only two of us have experienced mild symptoms (queasiness), but it did make a difference in time on task.
Math
69 - Reading Problems: Estimating in Everyday Life
72 - Intro. to Decimals
73 - Changing Fractions to Decimals
74 - Changing Decimals to Fractions
75 - Comparing Decimals
Skipped adding and subtracting decimals since it is so similar to +/- money.
78 - Multiplying Decimals by 10, by 100, and by 1,000
Lesson learned - she needs a little more practice than I planned.
Latin
Lessons 22 - more practice with conjugating the imperfect tense.
English Grammar

Skipped lesson on giving oral book reports.
46 - Chapter review (direct and indirect objects, predicate nouns and adjectives)

Literature - The Hobbit
Studied the dwarves song, listened to chapters two and three on CD, and finished a good portion of the workbook for chapter two.
Lesson learned - 12yo was unable to define quite a few of the vocabulary words even in context, so studying the vocabulary words really is important.

Sudan and South Sudan

Story of the World CD - listened to Ch. 5 - Sargon and Ch. 7 - Hammurabi
Usborne Encyclopedia of the Ancient World - pp 24-27 "The First Empires" and "The Rise of Babylon"
