I'm sorry but this will be a picture free report. I can't believe that I didn't take any pics this week of my sons' work! How sad! LOL! Oh, well. Here's our brief report from our light week. I think we enjoyed last week's break a little too well.Sneaker:
Grammar-Daily Grams grammar review and Vocabulary Cartoons
History- researched the role and duties of the Pope. Read about Capetian France. He's still reading King Arthur.
Math- I forgot to mention that we made a switch to MEPs Secondary Math this year. I've been so busy that I had totally forgotten to mention this. It is wonderful! I call it spiral with critical thinking + fun = progress. He's working with Binary numbers which is something that we haven't really covered in our former program. We are skipping previously covered topics.
Spanish- listened to audio cd for review
Bible- We are discussing Know What You Believe by Paul E. Little
Co-op: Drama and Dave Ramsey Financial Teen class
No science, logic, formal writing or computers this week. I truly neglected my highschooler this week. :( Well, he knows Mom and next week will definitely be a different story. Ha! Prepare to work!
Gasinator, Politician, and Old Man:
Bible- We started Kay Arthur's How to Study the Bible. It's a wonderful lesson on inductive studying. I'm learning with them. They are also listening in on Know What You Believe with my oldest son.
Math- area and perimeter. We are truly loving MEP. We are still using MUS for extra drill although they complained of boredom. MEP has everyones vote.
Spelling- copywork and dictation from an literature exerpt from Stephen Crane
Grammar- Identifying the Sentence: subjects and verbs. KISS has been a hit here. I love the way that they are required to think why reading a sentence. We started off in the Level 1 but found the workbooks work much easier since I don't have the time to pull sentences from our literature as much. The workbook literature exercises are done for me. I just add more sentences from our literature if more drill is needed on a concept.
Writing- We are finishing the last writing portion of Rod and Staff while we wait for Write with the Best. We are mainly reviewing letter writing and more detailed writing.
Geography- completed map of Europe and flag of France. We also learned about some important facts and details about France's culture and history.
Science- We read about some extinct animals and why they are extinct.
Latin- We actually restarted Latin. Yay! We are on lesson 2. LOL! Hey, the important thing is that we did it! They have excelled with it. I think it's my organization skills that has prevented our continuance. I'm working on that. Trust me.
Reading- They each have their personal library books. Gasinator is reading Lord of the Rings.
Politician is reading The Corn Raid and Old Man is reading Julie's Wolf Pack.
co-op: music theory, drama, health/PE
No logic this week.
Have a blessed weekend!

You really have this all tied up. I hope I can be as good a homeschool teacher/mom as you. Honestly, you make it seem so easy.
It looks like a wonderful week, Kysha! I did not get photos up either-there was just no time for it, lol.
I hope you have a wonderful week-end.
Awesome week!:) I keep meaning to check out KISS grammar. I still haven't decided on grammar for my dd12 for next year.

If you and the fellas enjoy the Kay Arthur study, the Teach Me To Pray one is awesome as is the Revelation study.
So nice to have you around BTW :)
Oh, and diggin the new layout--feminine, funky, and fresh!
I wanted to ask you about Living what they believe. Is that an audio program or is it a book? I see your older one is doing it. How young do you think a child could start that?
We did KISS grammar last year. It was great. I never got photos up on my blog.
Blessings always,
