We really are enjoying the Rod and Staff English book that we are using.

I'm doing this orally and with the white board with Milo and Danielle.

I love it!

Library

I have come to realize we don't have a lot of "easy readers".  I went to the library yesterday and checked out 18 books... so- there will be a lot more "reading aloud" done by Milo this week.

I need to make this a weekly or bi-weekly trip!

End of Semester

Mr. Robinson has some very obedient children - I can't believe it.

If I'm not asking my children every day where they are at in school - show me what you have done - where is your report - what did you read today - flash cards... where are you flashcards... they are not doing school.

HOW do Robinson Curriculum users get it to work?

With this in mind... we are switching.  LOL I can't work one on one with some and not others and it's driving me batty.

SO - Milo is now doing this:

BIBLE:
Patch the Pirate devotions
Listening to the Bible; OT and NT selections each day

MATH:
Working on Math facts- he is now writing down addition and multiplication math facts in a chart - working on 0 - 12.  Getting better.

LANGUAGE ARTS:
Memorizing spelling rules such as Usually a is spelled a as in cat.
Latin root words - memorizing mean, and changing vocabulary words from back of cards
Rod and Staff English book with Danielle - 3rd grade level.  We do this aloud - with me writing on the white board.
Italic handing writing book C - practicing to write cursive.

GEOGRAPHY:
We are review countries of the earth in alphabetical order with our church.  Finding them on a map, review statistics.

READING:
Sitting through a read aloud with mom - above level.
Reading aloud to mom - at level.
Free reading 20 minutes a day - below level.

FINE ARTS:
Piano lessons once a week - with 15 minutes practice 5 days a week.

Everything else is gravy.
