Randomness and the flu
Hey remember when I blogged two days in a row? Wasn’t that awesome? And also a month ago!?! Do you think that takes away from the single minded determination of those two well-crafted posts? Surely not.
Everyone here at One Room has had the flu, so not much of anything schooley has taken place here. We were doing some fun things before the flu hit the fan though. Joe finished Geometry and now we are on decimals. It is so nice to be able to take time on sections when he really needs it and then to fly past the others. Ditto for Grammar. I gave him one of those “chapter review tests” just see how well info was being retained. Let’s just say we are not going back to public school anytime soon! Yeah for Joe! We started a unit on Islam, looking at the history and similarities of Christianity and Islam. Very interesting because it is a subject I don’t know much about either. The first mosque ever in our city was just built and I might see if someone there will give us a tour. Just got some very cool books on astronomy from Rainbow Resource (thanks to Room of My Own for turning me on to them. Now I have no money). I’m also going to try a literature guide to Mixed Up Files of Mrs Basil…..you remember the one. Never tried a guide before , so we’ll see. Has anyone tried Shurley Grammar? I’m thinking of trying it out with my kindergartener. We are currently deciding whether or not to homeschool him next year. I want to, but with myself in school and him being so young, it would be very difficult. We may need to wait to go full- blown (cause you’re never totally not homeschooling) hs with him for another year. We’ll see. Anyway, hope everyone has had better health than us this new year. Cheers!
