School Weeks 1 & 2 2012/2013

With two weeks of school under our belt, I can now begin to relax and settle back into our school routine.
I started Week 1 with just independent reading and math review for A10 and read aloud time, phonics and math review for X8.  A10 read Strawberry Girl and X8 and I read The Real Thief.

On Week 2 A10 started language lessons, spelling and American history using Dear America books. On Wednesday she started Life of Fred Fractions as well as her Smart About the Presidents journal(once a week for both). She read the book Mr. Popper's Penguins and started Listening for Lions.  X8 started his cursive workbook, spelling and independent reading(he reads his phonics readers during this time, to himself or a loud) time.  We read the book Madeline in London.

Next week we start our weekly Co op(28 weeks).  We will be adding Astronomy, Mystery of History, Writing with Ease, and of course Co op homework to our list of school subjects! Our days are going to be full, that's for sure! That's not counting orthodontist appts, now that A10 is going to be getting braces next month.

We are looking forward to a new year of Co op! The classes for this year are:

  • Science/Ancient History
  • Civics
  • Math/Logic
  • Language Arts/Literary Analysis 
  • Geography
  • Anatomy/Health
  • Pa History
  • Art/Music
Fall! here we go!!!
