We finished week 18 way back at the beginning of February. So here’s mom catching up on record keeping. Hannah is mostly independent, we just follow up with some questions and grade her work.
Hannah has a devotional called Bible Study Sampler. She finished a theological book called God’s Will, God’s Best and also read Evidence for Jesus. She has weekly scripture memory for school and sometimes for youth.
In history/social studies, we worked through the 5th and 6th books in the History of US series. Hannah also read The Slopes of War, The Boys War, and The Dragon’s Gate. She has a weekly current events assignment from World Teen magazine.
Language is pretty much the same each week with different creative prompts. She is still doing spelling with Sequential Spelling Book 6 and vocabulary with Wordly Wise 3000 Book 9. She has two ‘extra’ books that are scheduled sporadically; a Latin study called Vocabulary with Classic Roots and an SAT prep workbook called Analogies I.
Hannah’s reading books have included The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Elijah of Buxton, and Bound for Oregon, and her poetry book is A Treasury of Poetry for Young People.
Science is Apologia Physical Science. The workbook and text work together to help teach good note taking skills and the labs emphasize clear communication and showing the scientific method.
Hannah’s math text is Math U See Algebra I. It has a video segment and then lessons. She has worked out a nice weekly schedule and is doing well on her tests.
Of course at the end of December we had all the Christmas activities and then family time. We had church caroling and the kids/youth put on a Christmas pageant. We spent Christmas week in Riudoso with Diltz/Millers while Gram was out of town. We skiied, skated, tubed, and played lots of games. We burned the pile with our neighbors for NYE then went to visit Gram and burned her pile too the next weekend. We finished with a winter storm in February, but it didn’t stick around too long.
Hannah babysits weekly for a little guy, has been very helpful with the new puppy Frodo and keeping both dogs hair cut, and has been super busy playing and practicing with her club volleyball team. She had two tournaments in January and I think she has been getting a lot better just with most time on the court. She still tries to help with worship when she can and is a great help with chores around the house. We love her!
