Schoolwork Accomplished:
*Wrote a friendly letter to Deb
*Wrote a paragraph about Mars after reading a page and a half of facts on the planet. Discussion.
*Geography Standard 5 (entire lesson & discussion of difficult concepts like density)
*She requested a blank map of the US and tried to fill it in correctly
*Completed/fixed a few pages that were already started in Brainquest book
*cutting/taping art projects (made some robots)
*Physical excersize with a brisk walk to the bank/store.
*Read another chapter in Anne of Green Gables.
*Lifeskills in general have been a theme since we moved here. It's a work in progress as she continues to do sloppy work and have to re-do it. Sometimes I give up and re-do it myself because I am too tired or emotionally drained to deal with her. I am a work in progress myself. Other days I explain or model and make her re-do. It doesn't seem to do a lot of good either way. But I'm perservering. Hopefully one day it will pay off.
