English: Olivia has been working hard at her reading and seems to be picking out new words every day. I'm quite impressed!
Science: Due to this course requiring a lot of me reading out loud and a sudden hacking cough hitting me mid week, we did very little of our biology classes.
History/Geography: Brianna is finding her new series for WWII very interesting. While watching Auschwitz: The Nazis and the Final Solution she is actually asking questions and wanting to show me stuff, unlike the last one (World War II: In Color), where she kinda just zoned.
French: Olivia loves to listen to Brianna do her Rosetta Stone and DuoLingo and try to copy what she's saying. Of course, Brianna's speaking sentences and Olivia's just picking out words, but learning is learning, right?!
Phys Ed.: Brianna did one general workout and ran twice.
Other: Joshua did his last speech therapy until August. Because we're in a small city, our Speech Pathologists are WAY over booked (that and way over used but that's a whole 'nother post!). So his therapy stops while another group of kids are seen. We'll reassess in Aug (and since we KNOW he'll need more therapy), then re-start seeing the therapists.

I just can't get my kids to keep up with Khan a academy. They loved it at first and then as the work got harder they stopped using it altogether. I keep trying and offering to work with them though.... maybe someday they'll go back to it.
ReplyDeleteWe only do short bits of it. 10-30 mins max. They work a lot better than when she (my 13 yr old) was doing it for 45+ mins. They also only use it 2-3 times a week. Keeps it a bit less boring
