From the Learning Rooms



Outside my window...

Rosie and a new-found friend.  Rosie makes friends pretty much wherever she goes!




From the learning rooms...
Gabe and Noah




  • New Testament Survey  from Homeschool Connections  was completed - now on to an Old Testament Survey also with Homeschool Connections


  • Rosetta Stone Latin 2.  


  • Saxon math for Noah, Algebra I Gabe.


  • Apologia Science General for Noah and Physical for Gabe.  Noah took a test yesterday and moves on to Chapter 5 (noting that he already did the end of that book last year).  Gabe will hopefully take a test today after he wakes up from last night's gig. 


  • William Bennett America: American History.  Which is hands down the best history book I've ever read for my kids!


  • Writing Institute assignments, Spelling Power. 


  • Gabe is almost done with his Vocab book!


  • Also reading 





Izzy




  • Saxon Math 67


  • Apologia Creation Science Anatomy and Physiology - nervous system.


  • Diane Craft right- brain training for language arts and reading. 


  • History with Gabe and Noah





Rosie




  • Pathway Readers


  • Saxon Math


  • MCP Phonics


Also got our California Achievement tests back.  They both got passing composite scores for the state of Ohio, (which is only 25 so that's not much of a stretch) but I had a hard time figuring out their score results.  For example in vocabulary and math, there were 20 questions and he got 18 correct.  On vocab he is considered above average and math at average.  I'm trying to figure that one out - unless they are comparing him with the other test takers - but I thought that is what a percentile does.

Overall though I will say that of all the overachieving homeschoolers that take the California Achievement Tests, my boys are in there to keep those percentiles down to earth.  You're welcome.







have all worn one shoulder dresses at some pretty important functions.
