First Day of School

Today is our first full day of school for everyone except Nacho. His courses haven't loaded yet with OHVA so, he gets to wait another week.
Lola is very much enjoying the full course load of OHVA's 7th grade. She is weeks ahead already. It is proving to be more difficult time wise though. I had hoped by using an online school, she wouldn't need as much hands on teaching, but Lola being Lola, she likes my attention so she "forgets" how to do things.
Today for Coco:
Daily Drills we used our Daily Drills workbook and complete pages 40 and 41 about acronyms
Spelling- we wrote spelling sentences together. Each sentence must be 5 words or more, with capitals and punctuation. I try to encourage sentences that show she knows what the words mean. (I get my spelling lists from www.aaaspell.com) She also played a game with her spelling words on www.aaaspell.com

Language Arts- we used our Language Arts book and complete pages 15- 7 about Word Order
Journaling- Coco wrote a paragraph (4 sentences, 5 words long each with punctuation and capitals) about what she wants to do this school year differently than she did last year. I will post it later.
Math- Using her Scholastic Success Math workbook, we did pages 5 and 6 about Comparing Numbers
Science- Using our Physical Science 4th grade workbook, we did page 126 learning about what Physical Science is.
French- we are using Primsleurs French lesson A and worksheets I made. She listened to a lesson twice and did the worksheet.

Daily Work- Using her Comprehensive Curriculum she did page 16 about Following Directions
