Language Arts

Maggie spent a large portion of today on Language Arts, including spelling. She was very proud of her spelling test, as she got 100% on it. She then worked on sentence construction, adjectives, nouns and articles. She found it to be a lot trickier than she thought it would be.

Rainy, Blessed Friday

Today Maggie and I were tired b/c we went to see a midnight movie. We slept in and then got up and got busy. Maggie did Language Arts and Math and we had some lovely teachable moments. Maggie also made some banana bread. We are starting our Christmas baking.

Joseph

So far Maggie is best at Bible. She had to write a report on Joseph and what Egypt was like at the time of Joseph. There weren't a lot of books on the subject, but I did find a DVD called Joseph. I think it was a mini-series. So today, while Maggie was pretty tired, we watched the DVD. It was actually quite good and then she wrote her report. I'm having trouble with Maggie's computer program not letting me grade her papers exactly right. I have to work on that, but otherwise, it went well. She did some History and tomorrow she will write a report on Icebergs.

Finally getting back to it

The month of October was extremely busy with outside activities, so our school work has been a bit sporadic. Now we are hitting it hard to make up what we've gotten behind on. Maggie has completed all her assignments for the day. We have studied all the subjects today and done a little cooking today. We took a break for lunch and then she is going to do some more math. In about an hour we're going to take off to pick up Jena at her school and then go ride and maybe go to the Y. Not really sure where the day will take us.
