Week 22

Well we had homeschool lite this week! We are still trying to recoup from our move and so we only did the basics.

Math
Well my Wacky Prince had a little trouble remembering some division concepts but recovered nicely today. The Queen to be is doing fairly well with Zeta but we have discussed it and truly she no longer cares about the "whys" of math and just wants to know what to do next. We have looked at several math programs and she has decided that when she moves into pre-algebra she would like to go back to Saxon and the Dive Cd's (we have never used the cd's but used Saxon a long time ago). The chef is having no problems.

CQLA
They are all working on doing a essay this week. My Queen to be is doing hers on William Shakespeare, her choice not mine, she has lately discovered that Shakespeare is rather fun to read. She has been taking a class at co-op on Shakespeare and discovered that he truly can be funny! Thanks co-op. The Wacky Prince is doing his on Henre Fabri, who is that you ask, he is famous etymologist. And since Prince is considering etymology as a career choice (therefore living at home forever). he would like to research him, yep I even found a 100 year old book on an on-line reader that he is reading. The chef to be is doing a lite essay and is writing on Venus Flytrap and Eel. The chef assignment is different from the older two.

That is our week in a nutshell. We have unpacked about 10 boxes this week. Rearranged some here and there and it is starting to come together. The boys are getting use to sharing a room together again. I am still working on the diningroom/education room and hope to get it together in the next couple of weeks. The kitchen is almost completely done we just have a couple of curtains to hang up and will get these things done as finances allow.

We will be rained in all weekend so I am sure I will be able to get some things unpacked and put in their new home. The master bedroom is where I mainly want to focus and then the education room. Hope everyone has a great weekend, we have co-op tomorrow!

Great week! That's wonderful your daughter is interested in Shakespeare. I love co-op for sparking interest in seemingly boring subjects:) LOL about your son wanting to be an etymologist!
