Morning Time: We began reading Philippians; continued the Gospel Primer and Northanger Abbey. We also worked on memorizing William Blake's 'Little Lamb' and the 23rd Psalm.
English: Joel has worked diligently this week in both Mother Tongue and Simply Spelling. He's reading Stevenson's The Black Arrow for his boys' book club.
Math: He loves math and I don't really have to push him much at all. He's working faster than I expect him to.
History: Joel was a bit frustrated at my lack of specific direction this week. I'll be more detailed in his assignments for next week. He read about Simon Bolivar and Latin American independence.
Science: He's excited about learning about weather and eager to begin the experiments and activities. We need to take him shopping to see that he has everything he needs.
Flag Football: his team lost this week and he caught his first touchdown pass, but it didn't count on a technicality. Oh, well! He's pretty optimistic when they lose, as long as they did their best. He's learning a lot about the game and sportsmanship, and enjoying that time with the other boys and their dads (as is Drew). I hope to get pictures next Saturday. The running around is good for him, too. I can tell when he hasn't had enough exercise during the week - he gets the grumps and doesn't know what to do with himself.
