Homeschool Day 7/19

 All kids have VBS this week, so the 1st grader won't do school.  It would be too much for him.  Last week was a five-hour long ballet intensive every day/all week, so no one was able to do school last week.

9th Grader

  • Bible reading (Genesis)
  • Language Lessons (quotation marks)
  • I read The Wave
  • She read Diary of a Young Girl (Anne Frank)
  • Trail Guide to World Geography
    • the activities in the guide (South America)
    • A Long Walk to Water
    • Mapping the World with Art (France)
11th Grader
  • Algebra 2
  • Bible reading (Kings)
  • Language Lessons for the High School Student
  • I read The Wave
  • She read Diary of a Young Girl (Anne Frank)
  • Trail Guide to World Geography
    • the activities in the guide (South America)
    • A Long Walk to Water
    • Mapping the World with Art (France)
Getting ready for our next round of books for World Geography: Hatchet (Canada) and Born Free (Africa).  Hatchet is an audio book, so that will be a nice break.  I also want to listen to it!  Born Free is an excellent book - my oldest read it in high school and very much enjoyed it.  It's about a female lion in Africa who spends a big portion of her life with people.

Next literature selection will most likely be Animal Farm by George Orwell.  I would like to include another book that includes Communism in its setting/theme.  

I picked up a number of picture books about the Saints from the library for the 1st grader.
