Ginny is doing her second pass through world history. This year is World History I. We started up when she started volleyball because it was a good time to get on a regular schedule again. We’ve had to stretch a couple weeks due to visitors, but have mostly stayed on track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In history\/social studies, our spines are The Story of the World: Ancient Times<\/span> with the Usborne Encyclopedia 12,000 years of World History<\/span>. Read alouds have been about Egypt and then Greece so far with The Golden Goblet<\/span> and the Trojan War<\/span>. We have a poetry book called Favorite Poems Old and New<\/span> that we read selections from each week. We have a weekly current events assignmnet and timeline entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ginny has a book called\u00a0The International Cildren’s Bible Field Guide<\/span> which we will be working through all year. We read a chapter and then she has additional questions on that topic to do throughout the week. She also has bible passages to memorize for school, Rangers, and youth. We have family devotions most mornings.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Read Alouds are a little step up from last year. Ginny doesn’t always get the context of them which is part of the reason we read historical fiction so we have to do a little more discussion. She had Mara, Daughter of the Nile<\/span> and Hittite Warrior<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our language schedule is basically the same as last year, just the next set of books. We have spelling with Sequential Spelling 2<\/span>, grammar with Keys to Good Language 5<\/span>, vocabulary with Wordly Wise 3000, Book 6<\/span>, a cursive assignment, and a creative writing assignment each week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Science this year is called Geology, Physics, and Origins. We have What’s Science All About?<\/span> as a spine. Her experiment book is called Chemically Active<\/span>. It is not my favorite experiment book, but it hasn’t been updated yet so it must be one of the better choices out there. Ginny has done a few acid\/base experiments so far and learned a bit about chemistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In math, Ginny is working through Horizons 6<\/span>. So far it has been a lot of review from 5 and Ginny has been doing fairly well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For extras Ginny has volleyball and was moved up into the youth group. She was placed on the middle jr hi team and has been steadily getting better at her serves and passes. Every now and then they will get a set up and she might get to spike. She also gets to go to lots of Hannah’s game. We had a youth glow in the dark party that I think she enjoyed as well as our weekly classes. In August, the Diltz grandparents came to watch a game. Gram aslo came for volleyball and took the kids skating. Ginny and Joel got to play at Main Event in Temple one afternoon when they had some time to kill. She continues to need to monitor her blood pressure daily in order to ensure we can keep her single kidney healthy. Her doctor is proud of her for keeping track of her counts and taking her meds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
