Lacie: Still wandering in the wilderness 11/21

This week we FINALLY finished Robinson Crusoe’s final exam.  Lacie took a nomenclature Test in Chemistry, too.  Yesterday the take-home Chemistry Test occupied the morning; guitar and Algebra took up the afternoon.  This afternoon we need to do more math before we can test.  Next, we are finishing History to prepare for this mid-term exam.  Lacie is working on WBE at home—with brief instructions.  I gave her another two hundred Latin vocabulary words to use to make note cards.  I’m serious about the number—I wrote out the vocabulary in Henle for the semester.  Lacie started reading Oliver Twist.  She was side-tracked by The Blindside.  We want Lacie to read for pleasure.  My husband, Rob, suggested sports novels.  I think it worked too well!  Again, one day at a time.

After Chemistry, Lacie needed to work on balancing equations.  She did that after Chem and after lunch until 3:00.  Then she did more Algebra.  Good new!  She has a good grasp on balancing equations and is starting to understand simplifying and solving algebraic equations.  Yeah!  BTW, there are a few errors in the solutions key for Saxon Algebra 1.  My husband and I do some of the problems to check for errors.
