Weekly Update

Now, it is time for our not-so-weekly update. I am really trying to keep up with this, it is just that my cooking blog is more interesting :)

Language Arts:
We are on book 20 of the Now I'm Reading, purple set.
We began the yellow Bob Books set, but cannot find some of the books because Meenie played with them.
We're on Lesson 120 of OPG, and reviewing some of the consonant blends.
We're doing the Act of Hope for our memory work
We're on Letter G in Seton's Handwriting for Young Catholics 1.
We just finished Lesson 44 of FLL 1 and we are doing any suggested copywork, plus some other random copywork.
We're on Lesson 12 of SWO A.
Our Read Aloud is currently Huckleberry Finn.
Meenie is learning letters C and H, and getting past the humps of reciting the alphabet.

Math:
Saxon 1-Lesson 48
Meenie is learning to count 1-10, somehow she was able to count from 1-19 but forgot. I don't know how but I believe the explaination is that she is two and therefore insane.

History:
We're on Chapter 11 of SOTW 1, and finishing up our spider project plus getting ready to read about Ancient Africa in our library books.

Geography:
We're still memorizing the locations and names of the states. We're about half way done. I think Boo knows at least 27 of them, Meenie knows 6-8.
We're on pages 17-18 of Maps, Charts, and Graphs A

Art/Music/PE:
We kind of just take this as it comes, it is usually integrated with another subject. We listen to plenty of classical music. Walking is our main form of exercise though sometimes the kids like to dance to music. I don't really know what else to do when the weather gets cold.

Religion:
We're on Lesson 4 of the St. Joseph First Communion Baltimore Catechism, this month we'll be focusing on the Holy Souls.
