First "Half" Day
We are having our first 1/2 day. We started out school just fine. Then DD says she's not feeling well. Stomach.

Physical Science 101
DD is in 8th/9th grade Apologia Physical Science. We have done three experiment so far this week. Here's number three on Concentration.
She filled each glass with 1 c, 1/2c, 1/4c of vinegar added a Rolaid to each cup. We watched them dissolve.
Dumped those out, then added varying amounts of vinegar and water to equal 2 cups. Rolaids dissolved faster in the water that had more vinegar.

Grammar, What Grammar?
Day three and we are starting to find the kinks.
I have forgotten to do grammar two days in a row!
I have to do refresher sheets for DS in math. The info's there, just needs to be dug up.
DD and science are not clicking.
History seems to be working...well, for DS. DD said that she needs to let her brain warm up first. (We are doing history last!) As to when will it warm up, after DS answers the questions. Hmmm... He is the one taking notes.
Our days are longer and I don't know how to fit it all in. We are going to keep at this pace until we know if we can do some subjects every other day.
Geography will be M-W-F. We are ahead of schedule on that.
Spelling wisdom M & W.
Fri I want to do the "main" subjects then add the "extras" in.
We are also doing Expository Writing. Joy! The kids don't think writing is fun. But as a keeper of three blogs, I rather enjoy writing! I'd like to write everyday. We'll see.
I hope your school day is going smooth!

Day One Down
I am excited to tell you that today went great! Dh went grocery shopping for me! We all got up on time! It all ran smoothly.
Our days are going to be longer, like two hours longer. But it went much smoother. We did one experiment (Atoms & Molecules).

Start of School Panic!
School starts Monday! Here's what we have going on:
DS has a cold. The rest of us are getting over it.
DH is taking that day off. (He is working the grave yard this weekend.)
It is a grocery shopping day.
I am feeling like I am not ready.
