Today- Tuesday January 25th

Today I was feeling a bit better and M. was working closer to home so we drove him to work, got some groceries and hit the fish store. H. has been working hard on her marine bio. and I have been promising her a trip to look at the sponges and fish and for the kids to grab some more fish for the tank.

A:
~work on narrative essay from the Illiad (a few hours again!- looks great). We worked on the polishing together this afternoon
~Henle Latin (he did this on his own- probably 4 sentences of translation in Unit 3)
~Algebra
~Ancient History and Lit: listened to the Illiad (he has read all the other books this year and we found a great reading of this at the library so he decided to do this one as an audio book, not his usual medium for books!)
~Science- did so much yesterday. We are swamped in all the functions of the parts of animal and plant cells that I told him to skip it today
~Spiritual Reading: Gospel of John with commentary
~Music practice

H:
~field trip at the fish store!
~Algebra
~Spiritual Reading- Gospel of Luke
~Lit: The Two Towers (almost done!!! Way to go!!!)
~Science- a great review of thermohaline circulation. We finally got it I think! Made a great blown up map of the global conveyer belt for her science fair project
~making a great soup as we speak

C:
~field trip at the fish store!
~Timez It
~a chapter of The Order of the Phoenix
~30 minutes violin practice

Aa:
~Explode the Code- consonant blends
~read lots of Russian Folk Tales to him over the last couple of days while I have been sick (my they are gruesome!!)... but no books to him today yet. Right now he is hooked into the retro cartoons as we got cable for the Olympics
~violin practice

Me:
