Spring 2011

Second "semester" was pretty much a continuation of what we did in the fall.

• We finished the SOTW series by completing Book 4 in May. I absolutely loved these books.  I learned so much and I think the kids did, too.
• We finished Real Science 4 with the Physics book.    Real Science 4 Kids was just OK.  I liked that the kids were introduced to some good science vocabulary, but it was pretty boring and definitely not worth the $200 I spent on it. Luckily I was able to sell it for $100. 
• Same grammar, same spelling, same foreign language
• Same math except that Sierra finished Singapore 6 and started Thinkwell PreAlgebra.  There was a bit of a struggle with this at first, but once she got through the transition period, she did great and I love this program.  We will continue with it for Algebra.
• The girls kept reading and writing.  I don't remember what...  I guess I better start doing a better job of recording keeping next year when Sierra is a high schooler!
