Ooooh, we're soooo close to finishing up this year, and I'm so disappointed to have jury duty for the next 2 weeks, which will set us behind when we're so close to the end.
C finished her 6th grade English last week, and no more English for awhile. Actually, no more English at all, as for 7th grade she will be focusing on Literature and writing.
She has her chapter 3 review in math tomorrow, and her test for that chapter the next day, and then a math break till after jury duty. But she will be 21% of the way done with her 7th grade math in less than 48 hours.
We will also be finished with her current chapter of science in 2 days, leaving us with only 2 chapters left for the year.
And ALSO in 2 days C will complete chapter 2 in her 7th grade social studies....so a very easy week for her this week. And me, too, as far as that goes, as I won't have much to do but grade a few things.
E is still chugging along to finish her 2nd grade math...I think we're down to 18 lessons left for the year. Still all A's, of course.
E has 5 lessons left in Spelling....I didn't think she would EVER complete an entire year's worth of spelling, but by golly, we've (almost) done it!
She finished Reading; I don't remember if I mentioned that here or not last time I posted.
We finally began working on her Cursive writing, and so far she writes Cursive far prettier than printing. But then again, she only knows how to write her name, and the letters A and E. LOL I'm hoping to have her writing completely in cursive by the end of the summer.
We're still also working through FLL (First Language Lessons). E does well with it, although she tires quickly of the repetition to learn the parts of speech.
For anyone who actually cares, my brother and his family had a wonderful time in Hawaii, and made it safely back home.
The weather finally started getting warm a week or so ago, and this is the nicest time of year to me. I LOVE being outside, and have been truly thrilled to be able to be outside doing such fun things as shoveling dog poop, weeding, raking, throwing trash away that always seems to blow into our yard....really...I am just so happy to be outdoors, that these have all been fun for me. Soon I can start mowing again, and at least get some little bit of physical activity, too.
The big news of the week is that I am getting 3, yes THREE of our cats spayed. We take them in tomorrow, and they will be back home to us Thursday, God willing. I found a local animal shelter that will do all 3 for less than the cost our vet charges for ONE cat.
That's about it for the official update. LOL
Take care everyone! : )
