Tuesday, September 24th

Ok, it's not technically Tuesday anymore, but this is what we accomplished today (yesterday?):

Read Aloud Topic - Russia continued. Today was books about matroishka dolls

Spelling - made the older 3 girls study their words and quiz each other. They did not enjoy this... I am going through Rebecca Sitton's "no excuse" list before moving on to individualized lists.

Writing - dictation for Siera and copy work for Kali. I am just starting to do dictation with Sierra she is doing pretty well. Kali did not want to do dictation. She thought it would be too hard. She is not quite 8, so I will let her do copywork instead for a while longer.

Math

Reading - silent reading for the older 2 and phonics for my youngest. Teaching Arwen to read is proving to be a huge test of my paitence. "No, look at the sound. Don't randomly guess while looking around the room..."

Piano practice for Sierra, Lesson for Kali

Violin practice for Kali

Made cards for great -grandma who has been in the hospital

Weekly chores

Activity Day at Church for Sierra
