1/31/2011 - Week Two of Bb is for Bear

After our set-back last week, I'm looking forward to actually getting through some of our fun bear activities this week and even adding a few more!

  • Work on our week's habit -brushing teeth first thing in the morning  (we're already good at this at night).
    • We will also continue to work on our shoes.  It's a skill that has been learned, but not yet mastered.

Monday

  • Letter Bb Do-A-Dot activity from LOTW (Alphabet)

How I'm Approaching... Geometry

N will be taking Geometry this year.  A Little Bit of Background His last year was split between taking his first semester of Algebra I at the local middle school as an 8th grader and his second semester being homeschooled. Khan Academy was a fantastic resource for him to make sure that he didn't have any gaps in his learning. We also used IXL to supplement. He took a math diagnostic right when we started homeschooling, and then took the personalized lessons to make sure he wasn't missing anything from even earlier math. N likes math, but it isn't an obsession for him like it is for his brother. I'm a huge fan of the Art of Problem Solving's courses especially since we loved their elementary series, Beast Academy, when they were younger.

We focused on delight-directed learning with a lot of outings and fun things to do. When things got rough, we learned to adapt and switch things out. Moving To Thailand In 2015, our family moved to Thailand. We started another blog for our time there, but alas it was not a good fit for us. We had int...
