Yikes! In my ambition this summer to get as much planning done as possible, I think I overdid it! We are having to scale back some as the girls are finding themselves too stressed to finished many of their assignments.
So instead of having an art assignment every day, we've scaled that back to once a week or once every two weeks. When I thought about it, I realized that most kids in public school (unless they are in middle or high school and take it as a subject) only do art once a week anyway. So I don't know why I thought they needed it daily.
Our Spiritual Studies course turned out to be a little too ambitious. I've decided to put off reading through the four gospels, the character trait study and the study of organized religions until this summer or next year. Right now, they will continue to read through Beautiful Girlhood and do the study guides for that.
I'm at a stop on Brooke's math progression. She's getting the hang of division so we attempted last week to move on to two digit divisors but I cannot for the life of me explain it to her. I may have to bring brother in on this one!
Kayti has plateaued with Great Expectations. She just cannot get into it and I can't decide whether to make her finish it or not. She DID, however, make the A honor roll in her CORE classes--Greek & Roman History and Pre-Algebra. I am very proud of her!
Brooke goes back and forth about what to do next year. She sort of wants to go back to public school (I am not really wanting her to) and wanting to do CORE. Right now, she is leaning toward CORE.
