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.
