From the Learning Rooms

From the learning rooms...
Gabe and Noah  are starting the Theology of the Body Course from Homeschool Connections . They also need to get to work on Latin 2 on Rosetta stone.  Both are doing fine with science and math.  We need to work more on writing.

Sam is still getting ready for CLEP Analyzing Literature. But it's clear this is NOT an easy test for him because you aren't learning facts or memorizing formulas - you have to READ the passage and answer questions about it.  He took a practice test last week and he only got a 44.  But, when we read the answers his guesses were always something like, "although the passage did talk about childbirth, this is not the best answer."  So it was as if he always picked the "almost, but not quite" answer.  He's going to continue practicing this, but also going on to American History I - which is not as subjective.

Izzy is doing great with the Diane Craft method of right-brain training - I can't believe how much better she is doing.  She started the year two years behind in math and by the end of the year she will only be 1/2 a year behind.  I'm very happy with her progress. She is also working on Apologia Creation science Anatomy and Physiology.

Rosie is now in the Pathway Readers and loving it. She  is doing well in Math too  - in fact she picks up very quickly.
