Last week was one of those one step forward one step back kinda weeks. Planning for the next week leaves me with a sense of yes now I know where we are heading, but in terms of the week everyone of us managed to throw a spanner in the works. Enough said.
Highlights - I gave in and ordered the set of Story of the World books as our history spine. The boys will bounce of these into their own sidetracks. My older daughter will use them as a base for essay/ thinking topics on each major event. I think this is my compromise for sidestepping the Veritas omnibus. (I should write a post on that one sometime).
The Naturalist made it through one Aesop lesson in one week and is finally discovering full stops. (The frustration of an 8 yr old who can tell you what case each noun in a sentence should be but capital letters and full stops are a mystery he sees no reason to delve into.) He finished Elementary Greek II as well and is celebrating his success.
The Engineer had one of those upside down inside out weeks. By the end of the week he has sorted out wanting to do his work - at least between 3 pm and dinnertime... I wish I was kidding but he really does seem to fire at that time, and loose it in the morning.
My Artist survived maths, enjoyed Latin and Greek and hopefully discovered that it really is better to ask for help, or even to discuss the lesson before you start it. Independence is something she has yet to master although she would dearly love to.
Tommorrow starts another week....
