Weekly Report: November 8 - 12

Week 10 was tons of fun with the girls.  

They continue to master more skills in music, reading, writing and math.  I'm in awe.  I love seeing progress.  It validates their hard work and they feel so proud of their new knowledge & talents.  

As do  I.

Aly showed us tonight that she can multiply through the 12s.  

(The skip-counting drills have paid off.) 

I found them doing math tonight at our little school desk in the kitchen. 

The sunny afternoon beckoned so they had some math to finish tonight.

 Aly presented the poem, My Shadow, to her CC class...

All in all, a fabulous week, despite hubby & Andrew being gone to a 3-day school leadership conference.  

Hoping for a 'normal' week soon....
