Just 6 weeks left. Should finish sometime in June.
We usually start with family devotion, then Ginny has a devotional book called The International Cildren’s Bible Field Guide with readings and questions. She also has bible passages to memorize for school that she recites on Fridays.
In history/social studies, we have Usborne Encyclopedia 12,000 years of World History and The Story of the World: Middle Ages. Every now and then we have a reading from a short book called The Kingdom Strikes Back. We have a poetry book called Favorite Poems Old and New that we read selections from each week. We have a weekly current events assignment and timeline entries. This unit we read The Great and Terrible Quest, The Second Mrs. Giaconda, and The Shakespeare Stealer.
Readers for this unit were Adam of the Road, Catherine Called Birdy, and The Beduins’ Gazelle.
Our language schedule consists of spelling with Sequential Spelling 3, grammar with Keys to Good Language 6, vocabulary with Wordly Wise 3000, Book 6, a cursive assignment, and a creative writing assignment each week.
Science has What’s Science All About? as a spine. We finished up The Usborne Enclycopedia of Planet Earth and started Evolution:The Grand Experiment. Her experiment book is called Chemically Active. We have managed to do most of the experiments.
In math, Ginny is working through Horizons 6. When we have a little bit of extra time she is supposed to do some supplemental work in Prodigy.
Ginny ran for TX Wind in middle school track. She helped her team place in the mile relay a couple of times and had some personal records as the season went on. TX Wind Jr Girls won first place at the state meet. We are looking forward to a little break but there will be summer camps and spring training. During this unit we went to Center Point a couple of times for cousin activities and to visit. Gram came to see us for Easter. Ginny also has youth group and Girl’s Ministries each week. We had a mission trip training for our trip to New Orleans this summer as well as a bbq fundraiser. The kids did well helping out with that.
