Weekly Report: Sept. 19-23 Week 4

2011-09-26T19:03:00.000-07:00

This week ds 11 read from The Birth of Britain by Winston Churchill. This is probably his least favorite book this year. It is over 500 pages and uses some more difficult language, but I think it's a good stretch for him, as he has gotten a bit lethargic in the brain of late. He is also reading The Once and Future King by T. H. White and Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. He and dh are discussing Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis as they go. They are not as far along as I had scheduled... but they are both getting a lot more out of it then I had expected. There was some science done and some math. I am beginning to think that we are cursed to use Epsilon and Delta forever! He did sequential spelling, penmanship, Practice Town, Finished Grammar Town and began Caesar's English 1 (the intro and ch.1). I hope to accomplish more next week.

No school happened on Friday. Dh was taken by ambulance on Thursday night for chest pain and is why I didn't post this Friday.
*He is fine by the way.

Ds 9 read from Ten Queens by Milton Meltzer, Tree in the Trail by Holling C. Holling, Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan, Heidi by Joanna Spyri and a couple science books I can't recall the names too. He did some science and some math. He did sequential spelling, penmanship, Practice Island, Finished Grammar Island and began Building Language (the intro) We just didn't get around to Latin or Logic last week.

Ds 7 read from Phonics Pathways, Reading Pathways, Bob Books, Zipping, Zapping, Zooming Bats by Anns Earle and was read to from Understood Betsy by Dorothy Canfield Fisher. He also did a chapter of math and some science.

Dd 4 read from Phonics Pathways, Reading Pathways, Bob Books, and was read to from Understood Betsy by Dorothy Canfield Fisher. We also did a fall study. She did her starfall school 4 days last week.

Weekly Report for Sept. 12-16

2011-09-18T16:05:00.000-07:00

My dh got berated this week for homeschooling by a co-worker. Why do so many people think that we (homeschoolers) would care one cent worth what they think? The sad thing is that this co-worker has a daughter who was a public school teacher and quite her job to homeschool her children. How sad that she is so adamantly against it.

Anyway...

So in Language Arts Josiah (ds11) has finished the third level analysis of Grammar Town. He's doing very well Practice Town though they are getting a little more difficult for him. I'm thinking I really should have picked up Voyage for him instead. I don't think that he has misspelled any words this year in Sequential Spelling. His Italics is beautiful lately and I'm hoping that it translates more into his daily writing soon. I know this will take some time. He's about half-way through Birth of Britain Book One and is really enjoying Once and Future King. I think he will have them finished by end of next week. Math was slow this week, he did 1 chapter. I am so looking forward to being finished with Epsilon. Science was done on his own. I don't think he is very interested, but really enjoyed building and flying paper airplanes. Latin and Logic were done. Logic is still a little fuzzy for us both. He did some typing practice. He did some art.

Micah (ds9) has finished the second level analysis of Grammar Island. I really love that it doesn't require a ton of writing for ds. Practice Island is going well, ds is having a little trouble finding prepositions, the subject and sentence compliments, but I think we had a light bulb moment after rereading those sections. His is doing well with SS. It seems the right level for him, but it takes him twice as long to write out the words then it would take for him to do them orally. He's reading Ten Queens: portraits of women of Power for history which he is thoroughly enjoying. He has read Story of the World vol. 2 twice this year and is reading through it again. History is his favorite subject this year. He has finally gotten into volume in Delta. I think he may finish it next week or the week after. He's looking forward to fractions. He did science with some help with the Note-booking. He breezed through both Latin and Logic. He did typing. We did a little art but didn't have time for much else.

Zechariah (ds7) is doing wonderfully with First Language Lessons and I'm glad that I waited to have him do it this year then last. We are speeding through the lessons. He has an incredible memory. And I am finally seeing some of his exceptional thinking skills translated into academics that I hadn't really seen in Kindergarten. Italics is going well. He is finally writing the letters correctly on the page. He missed one spelling word because he wasn't paying attention. He seems to be a natural speller. He listened to Story of the World vol. 2 and did narrations. He did Math on his own. The writing aspect is really slowing him down though. He did Logic, I can't tell if he enjoys it or not. We did some art and lots of playing.

Selah (dd4) is enjoying school. She isn't all that into writing but will do the few pages that I offer as long as they aren't "too" hard. She would do starfall all day if I let her. haha

Memories

Easter memories;
Bunnies hopping in the yard,
Colored eggs shiny and hard,
Silver wrappings glistening,
Biscuits, eggs and gravy too,
Warm my mouth with yummy goo.

Birthday remembrance;
Candy cigarets melting on the tongue,
ice cream slipping, red hot candles dripping,
Melting waxy scented clouds
Crinkling paper and screaming kids.

Independence day;
Cracking, popping, colored smoke,
Deep fried chicken, watermelon too,
Grand explosions fill the sky.
I'm so glad it's "The Forth of July".

Halloween images;
Dancing goblins in the night,
Popcorn balls and candy corn,
Pumpkin faces glowing bright,
Shrouded in frightening, beautiful, mysterious disguise.

Christmas Surprises;
Bubbling lights of glistening beauty,
Carols from the radio,
Chugging, puffing choo-choo trains circling round our little tree,
Smiles big and bright and so carefree.

Memory Monday

2011-09-05T22:57:00.000-07:00

Memory Work Overview 2011-2012

This year well be doing a lot of Memory work.

One of the blogs I follow is doing Memory Mondays, we don't really take a specific day to study our memory work but we do recite the last weeks work on Mondays. So if you click on the button it will link you to the host of Memory Mondays.

So this year in Grammar I've decided to use First Language Lesson 1-2 CD for the younger two. They are going to memorize all the poems and the parts of speech.
For Math we are going to memorize math facts by using Math U See Skip Counting CD.
For Science we'll be using Birds of Ohio to memorize 25 Birds songs/calls
In History the younger two will work on the preamble to the US constitution while the older two will work on the Justinian Code, Kings of Britain, Names of the Popes, Magna Carta and a few things I'm forgetting.
In Poetry the younger two will be using FLL, Micah will be doing Music of the Hemisphere by Michael Clay Thomson and Josiah will be doing Building Poems by Michael Clay Thomson.
For Scriptures they will each be choosing their own verses from their Bible reading each day.
For Latin we'll be working on vocabulary words, practical phrases and Prayers.

Weekly Report Aug. 29th- Sept. 2nd

2011-09-02T21:22:00.000-07:00

We finished our first week of School for the new year.

Dh did Bible with the boys 4 out of 5 days. They are going through the book of Judges. Micah was upset because he didn't want to hear about "killing and stuff". The boys are doing a Journal this year for Bible. We'll see how that goes. I'm hoping it will lead them to think more about how God works in their lives and what he can teach them through His word.

We started each day with Language Arts.
Josiah and Micah are doing AVKO Spelling. It's daily lists of words that subtly teach spelling rules. Zechariah is doing lists from Phonics Pathways. Then comes Italics penmanship (which all four are doing) followed by Four Level Analysis of Sentences and then Grammar. Josiah is in the Town Series and Micah is in the Island Series. Zechariah is doing First language lessons and Phonics Pathways. Selah does Phonics Pathways but isn't really ready for spelling this year.

Math was slow moving this week. They each managed to drag their feet. But I'm hoping for better results this week. Josiah is finishing up Epsilon. Micah is finishing Delta. Zechariah is finishing Alpha. Selah will begin Primer in a month or two. I want her to practice writing numbers for a while before beginning a text.

History was next. Josiah is reading from Usborne's History of the World in the Medieval section and reading the Birth of Britain by Winston Churchill. Micah is reading Story of the World Vol. 2 and Trial and Triumph by Richard Hannula. Zechariah is listening to SOTW vol. 2 on CD and Viking Longships. Selah is listening when she feels like it.

Science was a little easier then last year. I'm having the older boys read the book on their own. I'm still reading it to Zechariah this year, but I think it will work out better having them do their work on their own. They read the last part of 3 and all of 4. They will finish their Notebook on Tue. and work on 5 for this week.

We did Latin just after lunch each day. The younger two were in the room but not really required to pay attention.

Then we did Logic. Josiah is doing Traditional Logic and it is far from easy. He's had to have quite a bit of hand holding this week, but I think it will grow easier as we progress with the material. Micah and Zechariah found their logic books a little too easy, but I really wanted them to do their logic on their own this year. I think it will work out.

We did a little Art this week but didn't get to Music. The two older boys each wrote in their heath and nature journals. I hope to add typing this week.

Micah did some Occupational and Physical Therapy. Josiah did one lesson in computer science.

PDD-NOS and how it's changing our lives

2011-06-09T22:32:00.000-07:00

Back in March we took Our 9yo to see a child psych. doctor to see about some of his behaviors. He's a good boy, he just does odd things. Some of which are Sensory Issues and some which aren't. So after an evaluation he now has a dx of PDD-NOS (pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified) and SPD (sesory processing disorder) with possible ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) tendencies. I'm convinced that the ADHD tendencies are more sensory issues then attention issues just because of the "how" of his lack of attention. He says things like, "What mom, I can't here you? The kitchen light is too loud." (Our only florescent light in the house). And his "hyper" is less when he has a sensory diet.

Some of the things that are his issues are Gross and Fine Motor Delays, Social Delays, Attention problems and Sensory Issues.

He was evaluated for Gross Motor Delays. His first scores were 4.5 months (with objects) and 5.3 months (with locomotion). He was in the 1st % so he qualified for PT. He just had his second evaluation last week. He has improved and is now in the 2nd %. This means he still will have therapy, just less. When he hits the 15th percentile he will no longer qualify.

He now has 14 core strength exercise (like balancing on an exercise ball) that he has to do daily and 6 skill building exercises (like dribbling a basketball) that he does weekly.

He's back in OT which is great. But we have to drive an hour to the closest therapist for a 1/2 hour therapy session. She seems to be a good fit for him. Yesterday he received a PECS (picture exchange communication system) folder which he is very excited about. The thing is... he doesn't have any verbal delay, but does have communication delays (lack of eye contact, not catching social ques, ect.) and some real issues with several step directions. We'll see how it works for him.

He will begin his stick kids exercises today. This is a program with his PECS that helps add in his sensory diet activities to his daily routine. We will do 12 different exercises or activities for the next two weeks and keep records on which ones work and which don't. We'll add new ones in the place of the ones which didn't work in a couple weeks.

In November ds will be going to a Neurologist to confirm his dx and hopefully help give us some direction into how we will proceed. So I guess that's it for now.

Mini-update

2011-06-09T21:55:00.000-07:00

I never seem to find time to post. I can't believe it's been six months since my last post... wow. We've been so busy homeschooling and just living life that I just didn't even notice. Tomorrow is our last day of school. We're all looking forward to the break.

We've had a lot of things going on since December. The kids have been busy learning. Sugar Plum is reading now. And Z-train is on the fast track to becoming a mathematician. Jo-Bean is on the cusp of the teen years and acting more and more hormonal as the days pass (though I doubt actual changes will take place for several years yet). Moca is doing well in Science and Health. He wants to be a doctor when he grows up. He was dxed with PDD-NOS in March.

My husband and I are doing well. Holding on for the ride I guess.
