Week 1

Done!!!

It was a great week.  The first few days were long as we were getting used to doing so much, but by the end of the week we were figuring things out.  However, our days are still quite long & busy.

Savannah has quite a bit on her plate this year.  Savannah and Charlotte both do Math, latin, spelling/writing, literature, piano, & enrichments (poetry, geography, science), but Savannah also does English, Greek Myths, Book of Mormon reading, summarizing, and Discovering the Scriptures.  It is just a lot more than what we've done in the past.  She really applies herself and gets her work done without much proding from me.  I made her a to-do list to help with this.  The only subject that she hates and drags her feet on is math.  Today, math took around... two hours or more for one front and back page of math.  Yeah, really.
I love Math Mammoth.  I love how it shows patterns in numbers; how it shows different ways of solving problems.  It is an amazing math program.  *sigh* 
She usually does just fine and completes her math page quickly without much help from me.  Today, however, her brain was MIA.  It might have been that I told her she had to complete her math before we went to a swimming party.  Her mind was on swimming, not work.  So maybe today was my fault. 

I am exhausted.
