Yasmeen has completed eighth grade and made honor roll three times this year. She made honor roll for fourth quarter. Sadly, I wasn't able to attend her moving up ceremony as I was in the hospital with a bad back.
Liam and Yasmeen will both attend the same school in the Fall. For the summer, Liam's goal is to work more on math. He is really excited about going to this school, so we are approaching math in a more traditional manner than with unschooling. Although, many unschoolers will say that if a child wants to learn a subject and wants to learn it in a traditional method of textbooks and workbooks, then there is nothing wrong with that. We reviewed long multiplication tonight. He did fairly well with it. He knows how to do it, this was just getting the gears in his head turning again.
Seneca continues to work on her phonics with me. She also has glue and glitter at her disposal for whenever she wants to do some crafts. She likes to go outside and dig in the dirt and make a cup of mud. She calls this her "project." Seneca has a collection of shells and she decided that the cone shape ones are gnomes' hats. Another set of them are the ships in which the sea gnomes sail away.
