September 8th- DUH Today!

As I blogged about last week, I totally skipped today. So I shall tell you what we are starting this week and then I probably wont blog until Wednesday or Thursday (I start my new job Thursday!)

Fifi- Today she worked on sorting like colors and shapes. Over the weekend we bought her a huge bag of assorted beads and a bead sorter. She sorted about 300 hundred beads before she decided she was bored. She also wrote her spelling words on flashcards, and helped us make our Arkansas booklets for Jenn. Her Home Ec was making lunch with Lola.

Coco-
Because I didn't feel well on Saturday and Sunday, worse on Sunday, Mimi didn't come today. With Nacho and Lola's assistance Coco still did her schoolwork.
Math- She reviewed her 7's and 8's tables. She also did a subtraction with regrouping word problem paper from CC. She also got to use her new math game her Mimi sent her last week.
Science- We read some books about the Earth and its layers while laying on the couch.
Geography- She made some pictures that we will put words to about the wild life and agriculture of Arkansas.
Spelling- She made her flashcards for her spelling words with their definitions on the back.
Language Arts-I wouldn't let them have her start pronouns with Mimi so she did some random adverb worksheet. Turns out to be a good thing. She still needs help with identifying adverbs.
Creative Writing- She started her legends project and we read a few legends on the couch.
We skipped ASL today. Lola needs a new book and Nacho accidentally returned our videos to the library.

Lola:
Math- Lola is back on www.aaamath.com for subtraction. This should be her last day with it.
Science-We used the new books my mother (Mima <-- actual name LOL) sent and another book Todd bought at the huge book sale this weekend at our library and went over the Muscular System together.
Geography- Lola drew the pictures we will put words to tomorrow for the Arkansas booklet. She is doing famous people from Arkansas, Silly Named Cities in AR and Arkansas state facts.
Language Arts- She did another page from the CC on learning new words from words you know. (By adding a suffix or a prefix)
Creative Writing- While she still hasn't finished her original project, she is also starting her legends project today.
Spelling- She put her spelling words on flashcards with the definitions.

Nacho:
Math- www.aaamath.com Since he completed the first four lessons last week, this week he is just picking up where he left off.
Science- We blew off Science today. His Science books still aren't here yet.
Geography- We started reading about Ancient Greece from one of the other books Todd found the book sale.
Spelling- He read over his list of words, looked them all up for pronunciation and definitions.
Language Arts- Since that book is not here yet either, we talked about legends and myths (Hes also taking Mythology) and he did an adjective vs adverb worksheet from Sierra's CC
Mythology- He read the introduction to his Comprehensive Classical Mythology book. He also talked about Prometheus and his role in the last book he read.
Herbology- After last Saturdays class at Spirit Apothecary www.spiritapothecary.com Nacho cant stop talking about herbs and natural medicine. Last night he helped me make Omega 3 loaded bread fro Todd and Rosemary Omelets also fro Todd. He explained that Rosemary promotes blood to the head. He also began reading his Cunningham book on herbs.
Spanish- Nacho logged onto www.livemocha.com and started Spanish 101. He also dug out one of the old books I used to use and went over some of the simpler verbs. He wants me to find him a copy of a 10 year old workbook... Sounds like fun...
