Yep, Week 34, BUT.....
Before I do a quick catch me up on the older girls I thought that I'd quickly show you one my latest finds in the book department.

Who knew that Leonardo da Vinci ALSO wrote some FABLES? Yep, me either.
The book is in particularly good condition too. The beginning of the book even includes a little biography in relation to his fables.
It IS illustrated throughout, but yeah, just took a random non pictured page for the show and tell.

Ok, Now let's do a quick catch me up on Chloe { 10 }.
Math: Currently working on Saxon 6/5 lesson 37. Slow and steady wins the race. Remember that she can't do the next lesson till she scores over 80%.

History: Currently working through 'Life B.C' and is doing Greece within the book. She reads and notebooks a chapter each time. { Monday, Wednesday, & Fridays. }

Yeah, so that's a quick outline of where we are at the moment for the bookwork.
Your girls are lovely, Deborah.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol,

Deborah
The girls are getting so big!! They are beautiful Deborah :-)
ReplyDeleteI love reading where you are up to. We don't seem to get anywhere near as much school done as you guys. I must knuckle down and get a bit more done I think. Especially with the end of the year coming up.
Thanks :o)
DeleteYour curriculum looks wonderful! What are the differences between Rod and Staff English and Climbing to Good English? My son is doing R & S while my daughter is doing Christian Light. However, Climbing to Good English looks neat also. Does this incorporate writing also? It's fun to see what other moms are using. Thanks for all of the homeschool encouragment and ideas from your blog!

Hi Briana,
ReplyDeleteThe difference between Rod and Staff and Climbing to Good English is that R/S are very repetitive on specific skill sets in each lesson. Like the whole lesson is basically only looking at one grammar skill. With CtoGE the lessons are very much varied. Yes, they also include some composition in there as well. As a parent / teacher I think my girls are getting more out of the Climbing to Good English at this point. I still like Rod and Staff, but at this time we are working out of the CtoGE.
I highly recommend checking their samples out at:
