The Co-op classes start after Labor Day. Over the next two weeks, Lacie and I are working on reading Robinson Crusoe, jump starting Theology and History, all while doing pre-assessments in Math and Grammar. The two of us are stilling receiving books ordered online and determining a good schedule. I need to clarify her strengths and gaps. Today, I checked all of last week’s assignments, gave her a paper to write for Robinson Crusoe, and two assessments, the first Algebra test, and this grammar assessment. We corrected and scored the tests before reviewing the incorrect material.
We need to get a handle on grammar. Here is my plan. First read all of Robinson Crusoe. Next we will finish two or three study units in Theology and History. Mean while, the pre-assessment results indicate hat we should start over in Algebra and Grammar.
We are starting slowly. In two weeks, we’ll introduce Latin and Chemistry, Algebra in three weeks, and postpone vocabulary, composition, and grammar until October. So far so good! Teaching every topic is an adjustment for me, too!
Lacie said that it’s hard to work independently. Exactly! Together, we’re transitioning from a teacher centered approach to a home-school approach, in which Lacie becomes responsible for her own education. So, we’re taking some time before Co-op to get into a routine, set up dedicated study time, and a schedule.
This gives me time to read the history and theology material in order to assess her answers to questions, and time to prepare Algebra and Latin 1. Woooo!
