We started our final Little House book this week. We are also just about finished with American history. I think we will read a biography of Ronald Reagan and call it quits. We will be getting back around to it all again in a few years. Big girl will do her own reading, as she will be finished before we get back to the 20th century in history.

Big Girl finished up her math book this week. Now she will just read the Richard Maybury books we have, and when she is finished with those, she will do an economics book. Then, her final math will be Lifepacs Consumer Math. She will be finishing up her English book next week, and move on to her next writing book, Wordsmith Craftsman. That is one of the countless wonderful things about homeschooling. When you finish one thing, you can just move onto the next, at your own pace. No waiting around for the teacher, or for another school year.

Little girl is doing great with her new math. It is super easy right now, but will get more difficult as she goes. I added Vocabulary Vine to her subjects this week. It is Greek and Latin root study. She is doing it in a notebook instead of making the cards. She is also relearning cursive, as she doesn't use it and had forgotten it. I am just making out letters and words for her to copy. She has taken to writing some of her own stories and poetry on the computer, like big sister. :-)

Big Girl really enjoyed her literature this time. She is just about finished with her math book. Next week, she will finish it up.

Little Girl was doing well with her pre-algebra, but I don't think it has enough practice on the new things she is learning. I ordered her Key to Fractions, and she will start that next week. She probably could have done fine without the extra, but there is no rush. She even figured out how to do cross multiplication on her own. She was supposed to be using a different method to determine which of two fractions was greater, and she told me she had found an easier way. It was something that wouldn't be taught for a few more lessons. :-) She is continuing to do copy work to cement her multiplication tables.
