School Week 34 2011-2012

Last week of Co op, last week of history! X7 is done with Writing with Ease Vol 1(we'll be doing the other half of the book next year). We are going to focus on Explode the Code 2 1/2. There is plenty of copywork there are well, plus he is working on his cursive workbook, which he loves!
We are rowing the book Miss Rumphius, which I love!

A10 is almost done with vocabulary, and she has a couple of weeks of Writing with Ease Vol 2 left.  For independent reading she reading Anne Sullivan's biography. She has read Helen Keller and Louis Braille's biographies as well.  I try to make sure she has a nice variety of books to read from.  She needs to read fiction, non fiction, historical fiction, fantasy and biographies... so far she has hit all of these!

Next week she starts her Felicity class, which is more historical fiction.  We have two field trips associated with this class... We are going to Renfrew's 4-square garden program on May 18th, and we are going to Olde Bedford Village - May 21st (all day) this will consist of 2 crafts for the students in addition to touring the village! 
Plus Calendonia State Park is hosting a Beginner Birding Class on Saturday, June 2nd, from 8 AM - noon. The cost is FREE! So of course I'm taking A10 to that as well!
I love warm weather, there are so many activities we can do now because of it! 

Our next co op meeting will be in two weeks and next week we get to go to MACHE homeschool fair! I can't wait!!!
