Today's lessons



Well, today DS is doing History, Spelling, and Math. For History we are using "History Odyssey Ancients, Level Two" so he read in "The Story of Mankind" about what we've learned from the Egyptians and wrote a little about in his History binder. Then he did the Language Pocket from "History Pockets, Ancient Egypt".

He's done his spelling and even did it well with few mistakes. We check it together so that he can see right away what he has done wrong and fix it or ask questions if he didn't understand. We are using the "Rod and Staff" spelling book. I will probably switch for next year.

For math is brushing up on his division. He's pretty good at it but I just want to be sure he really has it down. The book is a little easy in the beginning but I don't want to skip just in case something wasn't covered well enough in Public school. So far so good. We are trying to move quickly through it.

He'll also do reading later. He's reading "The Number Devil". He is enjoying it. I need to catch up with him on it. I'm behind in reading it myself.

Tonight we have "Trunk-er-Treats" at our church. The kids are really looking forward to it. We still need to decorate the trunk. We're just hanging up some inflatable pumpkins and DD made a cute poster she wants us to hang up somehow. Should be fun. Everyone is looking forward to it.

Have a great day!
