Alright, so after circle time the older girls start school.
Here is what Karly is doing:
Monday:
Spelling: we are using something a little different called How To Teach Any Child To Spell. Basically we use her writing to pick out words misspelled and put them in a spelling notebook under the rule that was not used.
Math: She is still using her Saxon 3 because she did not do well when she went through it. I have her doing all the assessments and she is taking timed 100 multiplication and division quizzes. By looking over her assessments I can figure out where she needs more work. On Monday she Had Math Assessment 40. She got a 73% on it.
Copywork: We are using Copywork lessons for girls from Queens Homeschool. She is working on lesson 2.
The Classics At Home: This is something new I got in a box of books from Ebay. I really like it. Right now she is studying the works of Beatrice Potter. She had to look up vocabulary words and write definitions for them. She also had to locate London, England on a map.
Cooking: We got Marmee's Kitchen Primer. Today she had to read about kitchen safety.
Handwriting: A Reason For Handwriting lesson 5 worksheet.
Tuesday: We take off for errands and Bible study
Wednesday: We have homeschool co-op so we only do one math lesson and handwriting.
Math: Go over Assessment 40, timed multiplication worksheet.
Handwriting: Practice verse from lesson 5, copy onto final sheet and color.
Thursday:
Spelling: Go over writing and copy words into spelling notebook.
Math: Assessment 45
Copywork: Lesson 2
Handwriting: Lesson 6 worksheet
Classics At Home: Answer questions about author and learn about pressing leaves and flowers. Try it yourself.
Cooking: Copy first five rules of kitchen safety.
Friday:
Spelling: Go over writing and copy words in spelling notebook. Drill with words from previous days.
Math: Go over Assessment 45, timed division worksheet.
Handwriting: Lesson 6 practice verse, copy final draft and color.
Classics at Home: Begin keeping a journal. Begin studying plants, animals, bugs, flowers, and trees. Think about the special features God has given each. Draw each specimen you observe. Try to label each and show its special features. (Actually I just write the page number and what she is supposed to do and then she looks it up and follows the directions. LOL)
Cooking: Finish copying the rules of kitchen safety.

Well this was our first week of the new schedule. I like how things went. I see areas we need to work on a little more, but overall I think this might work for us.
Be Blessed!
