We had a strange week – lots of outside commitments that made school work something to hurry through so we could get to the other thing. We only did skill subjects this week because of that, so we’ll try to double time either history or science next week to catch up a bit. I’m not too worried about it though. We’re doing OK.
Princepesa – Second Grade
Language Arts |
|
| Spelling | Spelling Workout D – Lessons 2-3 |
| Writing | Writing with Ease 2, Week 20 |
| Grammar | R&S Grammar 2, Lessons 4-5 – 4-8 |
Math |
|
| Horizons Math 2 | Lessons 12-15 |
We took last week and this week to really drill on addition facts. I don’t feel like she has them memorized well enough yet and since math is a weaker subject for her, I don’t want to move on until this is a little stronger. We played a lot of RightStart math games and did a lot of Flashmaster drills, etc. Timed drills give her a panic attack so I pushed her on that this week too.  |

Latin |
|
| Prima Latina | Lesson 2
This is the first week we ran into pronunciation issues associated with graduating from Song School Latin to Prima Latina. The word caelum was in her vocab list for this week, and she’d already learned it in SSL, but with the other pronunciation. We just talked about the differences and went on, and she seemed OK with that. I’m doing a schedule with two weeks of Prima Latina and one week of Minimus. I think PL is strong on vocab and grammar, but Minimus has much more historical context and Roman cultural information. Next week is our first Minimus week and I’m wondering how it will go. |
Bible |
|
| God’s Promises | Lessons 16-3 – 17-1 |
Reading |

Not a lot of extra reading this week since we spent our days rushing off to something else. She did plenty of bedtime reading, but I didn’t record it. Probably read On the Banks of Plum Creek for the eighty-seventh time.  |

Boy, I had a chuckle when I read that Princepesa was pushed more on the drills. Seriously, I could have written that myself! *insert wicked, evil laugh here*
Overall, sounds like it was a great week!
Even without history and science, it sounds like a full week!
I just made a post about my taking apart notebooks
I enjoyed reading about your weeks….we also have the winter blahs around here with with way too much rain going on 
Enjoy your day!
Great! I’ll go read through it. I think it’s a great idea – I just need to screw up my courage to take apart all our consumable books. lol Also – I emailed you.
