Today was a little topsy turvy since we were fortunate to have Mrs. Kemnitz take art today. We reviewed words from the last three chapters in Vocabulary Workshop and spent a little time working on our geography project. It is due Monday but based on today, it seems that most are just about done with it so I don't plan to spend any time on it tomorrow. We plowed ahead with Hamlet today. Our books haven't arrived yet, so for now I am reading it aloud to them in the original language and then making explanatory remarks every few lines. This way they get to hear the original language, but have a much easier time following the story. I have also been projecting a website that has both an original and a modern version side by side. Check it out here if you like. One week from tomorrow we get to go see it! Thanks to everyone who offered to drive. I will need all three of you at or near your max capacity so it actually worked out really well. Thanks God! We looked at adding positive and negative numbers for math. I have dropped reading out loud to the students and moved current events to that time slot. This gives us an extra 15 min to work on math. The parent survey last year indicated that we should spend less time on math, but I think an extra 15 min. to work on it and also to be able to ask questions will be valuable as we proceeded into the more challenging part of the text.
