Whew. Well here we are. We hit the ground running with our cyber school/ mom school combo two weeks ago and I'm exhausted. Here's some of what we've been up to.
We read The True Meaning of Smekday for our monthly Book vs. movie family book club with our local library and watched the movie Home. They are *very* different and would make a great comparison essay, but we didn't actually write one this time. I will say I thoroughly enjoyed both.
Miss 10 is doing ratios and proportions in her online math program. It's very dry, so I found her these fun videos to liven it up a little.
And while I was there I found this great video on oceans and continents that fit in perfectly with Miss 8's social studies curriculum.
Miss 8 is also learning her multiplication tables. We are trying a variety of strategies, including flash cards, printable games, movement games, and songs. We are also trying the program Times Tales for the first time. I will follow up with a review when we've gotten through it. For now, enjoy this video.
