Schoolwork Accomplished:
*Wrote alphabet and name in cursive, NEATLY on a dry erase board with model letters.
*Craft-made glasses and jewelry with pipe cleaners.
*3 pages in fraction workbook
*re-did same three pages in fraction workbook to fix sloppy and missed answers or those where she skipped a step because she didn't read the directions completely.
*Re-did one page yet again after I showed her how one half is bigger than one-third (with measuring cups). Then we went over the problems and I believe she understands the concept now.
*Re-wrote the word "Eighths" 15 each because she continually mispells it.
*took all the quizzes in her Stand Up For Yourself book and signed the promise to stand up for herself and others.
*Drew the decorations on the Roman pots, scenes from Roman life.
*Read Good Work, Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish
*Drew a picture of a Roman Emperor (this took several tries, as she kept drawing things such as clothes or his expression incorrectly. The point was to convey whether he should be happy or sad, serious or excited, weak or strong. )
*List of good/bad emperors and why-we had to look up a few of them online and look for answers. Her books list only good qualities for Octavian/Augustus, but our online sources reveal him to be somewhat conceited and it's harder to find his accomplishments.
*She read a story to Timothy (I love you, Stinkyface)
*I read two chapters of Tom Sawyer to the kids. This is so laborious, I have to explain every section and Justin stops me to ask all kinds of questions (related to the reading or not) I'm lucky to read two sentences in a row without being stopped. But amazingly, they seem to enjoy it anyway. So I perservere.
