Homeschool Day 3/4

 Kindergartener

• All About Reading - he read half a story from the Reader.  I wrote the story in sidewalk chalk on the driveway and he used his foot to move across the letters and sound out the words
• Handwriting without Tears
• Summer's Lab Science - we started the unit on Birds.  We did the coloring page, read the text and took our binoculars, walked around the neighborhood and looked at birds with the binoculars.  He had a great time!  I also ordered a Texas bird-watching guide, which should be here tomorrow.  I'm going to use that when we're bird-watching

13 Year-old

• Algebra worksheet - once again, I needed to do all the review problems on the board with her
• Language Lessons for the Secondary Child - a lesson on commas
• Free reading from the book crate
• She read To Kill a Mockingbird and I read Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
• Mystery of History 4 - the last lesson on the Civil War

16 Year-old

• Algebra 2 - review worksheet- she said it took her an hour and a half, which is just way too long.  I'm going to circle odds or evens for the next review sheet
• Language Lessons for the High School Student - she wrote her Descriptive Essay, which was honestly, one of the best writings I've ever read from her
• History of Medicine
• German together
• Scarlet Letter Unit Study - we worked through the Progeny Press Literature Guide
