We have pictures this week. I used my daughter's digital camera. This week, we had a rough time with Math. I seriously had to get over my perfection issues of wanting to be finished with a particular page and trying to move on to the next topic. After much prayer, the Lord has given me peace. The older kiddy's had to take their Math test twice before they could pass it. But the blessing is- they understood the next topic and really built on what we had previously studied. Spelling/Vocabulary - finished up definitions and games; both tested at 100%; Science - dissecting the eye(we are fearfully and wonderfully made). Grammar went well also, this was not my favorite subject in school, so this is like pulling teeth for me. Social Studies - Ancients and timelines. Reading - assorted books.

We go through those phases with math sometimes, too. I'm glad to hear things got better! Looks like a good week.
It's funny, I'm only now realizing that testing doesn't only show success, but reveal the weaker areas... so they can be strengthened. I know that sounds horribly obvious, but it has only become clear, to me, now.
You're doing a fantastic job, thanks for sharing!
One of the joys of homeschooling is that we can take thing at our child's pace and make sure they understand what they are doing - math is a toughie! Looks like you found what would work for your kids ;0)
Have a good weekend!
I have the same problem with letting go of *my* schedule of when things *should* be finished and just allowing my oldest to do his work at his own comfortable pace....
Fractions took waaaaaaay longer than I would have liked, but now we're on to units of measure and he is flying through this chapter. I guess maybe we'll make up the time we lost with fractions and end up back *on schedule*. =)
This is our first year homeschooling so I really enjoy reading blogs about other children close to my children's ages.
