That would have been logic to figure out that today should have been chapter five. Let's see: chapter four was on her assignment for Wednesday and Thursday.. and chapter six is on Friday.. lol Not sure how we missed that one..
We forgot about spelling list this week. I guess we will have to come back to that next week. Also, I meant to ask you about her end of year test.. I know you told me which one she will be taking, but we need to make sure she is tracking with what will be on the exam.
Maybe I should put on her assignment to check her spelling words tab each Monday and write them on index cards so she can have flash cards to practice.
I found this website for writing: http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/top_teaching/2011/02/my-january-top-ten-list-writing-lessons-and-resources. Maybe we can incorporate that next week?
I ordered the Answers in Genesis Science curriculum - God's Design for Life: The World of Animals. It should be here by the end of this week. Also ordered the pig for dissecting; it should be here in 3-6 business days.
I also signed up for free mini classes online here: http://www.craftsy.com/classes/free?. Lots of different crafts, projects, etc. Looks cool! Another art project website is: artprojectsforkids.org.
Nichole has not completed work under three tabs for this week, Bible, Cultural Immersion, and Spelling. I also do not see any work entered for today on any tabs.
She made videos from the field trips to post. I don't think she has seen either of the assignments from Monday and Tuesday. I thought she was supposed to make three videos for each day. I didn't know that you changed it or I would have had her complete it - sorry!
I didn't know she was making videos either....I thought we said she would write about what she did. Oops. The videos are better and I'm sure she enjoyed that! I can change the assignment for those days.
I posted videos today under Entrepreneurship, Field Trips, Extra Credit, Spanish, Culinary Pursuits, Drama and the Arts, Geography, Science, and Computer Science.
I'm thinking it would be good for me to post her grades on the grades tab each week. I will work on that. Since the social studies tab isn't working maybe replace the world history tab with it?

Awesome! We flubbed up on her washington assignment - she jumps from chapter four today to chapter six tomorrow.. whoops!
ReplyDeletehaha! oops!
DeleteThat would have been logic to figure out that today should have been chapter five. Let's see: chapter four was on her assignment for Wednesday and Thursday.. and chapter six is on Friday.. lol Not sure how we missed that one..
ReplyDeleteI think you're right about typing each day in a word document and then copying and pasting onto the blog. It will definitely help!
DeleteWe forgot about spelling list this week. I guess we will have to come back to that next week. Also, I meant to ask you about her end of year test.. I know you told me which one she will be taking, but we need to make sure she is tracking with what will be on the exam.
ReplyDeleteIt will be the SAT Subject Tests.
DeleteSo, I think she should do some practice tests throughout the year so we know what to focus on.
DeleteYes! I can print them out for her.
DeleteAlso, I forgot about the videos that I put for her under entrepreneurship. Can you have her watch those on Friday as well?
ReplyDeleteYes, I will add that to Friday.
DeleteNevermind - I just saw that there is a spelling list.. not sure how she missed that.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should put on her assignment to check her spelling words tab each Monday and write them on index cards so she can have flash cards to practice.

ReplyDeleteCool!
Deletehttp://www.kidpointz.com/printable-charts/behavior-charts/. What do you think about using a behavior chart and having a Conduct grade?
ReplyDeleteYes!!!
DeleteI think she should post her papers due this week to the English tab, no?
ReplyDeleteYes, that would be great!

ReplyDeleteIt said somewhere that it is planning to start in fall 2016.
DeleteThat's really cool!! I submitted the support survey and emailed them about the start date.

She finished Esther last week - there are only 10 chapters.
ReplyDeleteOops. I had looked that up online last week and thought there were more. Lol, I will correct that tonight.
DeleteShe is reading Ruth now.
DeleteShe made videos from the field trips to post. I don't think she has seen either of the assignments from Monday and Tuesday. I thought she was supposed to make three videos for each day. I didn't know that you changed it or I would have had her complete it - sorry!

DeleteNew comments are now at the top of the list - how exciting!
ReplyDeleteI posted videos today under Entrepreneurship, Field Trips, Extra Credit, Spanish, Culinary Pursuits, Drama and the Arts, Geography, Science, and Computer Science.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to use the grades tab or should I remove it? Any other pages that are not being used that I should remove or others that I should add?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure yet. I had thought I would look at it this weekend and let you know.
DeleteI'm thinking it would be good for me to post her grades on the grades tab each week. I will work on that. Since the social studies tab isn't working maybe replace the world history tab with it?
DeleteSorry.. I completely forgot to check on that tab. It works now. Sounds good on grades - she keeps asking and asking and asking and asking... :)
ReplyDeleteI'm still not able to click on the social studies tab. Not sure why?
DeleteYay! I can click on social studies now! Those videos are hilarious!
ReplyDeleteNew videos posted under geography, drama and the arts, cultural immersion, computer science, culinary pursuits, extra credit, field trips, and entrepreneurship.
ReplyDeleteI found videos for Math! They are teaching videos on the lessons from the Saxon Math book.
ReplyDeleteI posted 2 videos under Drama and the Arts and 2 videos under Cultral Immersion.
