It's wonderful to watch how confident she has become as she shares what she has learned using both humor and facts: which very much sums up her personality. She loves to make people laugh, and she loves to share facts.
For English, she finished "City of Ember," and has been working on her 5-paragraph report. It should be completed by the end of the week. Mathematics has been moving at a fast pace. She completed her 5th grade curriculum within the first two weeks of homeschooling, so we moved to 6th grade and she quickly mastered integers, mode/median/mean/range, graph reading, finding x. and an introduction to ratios/probability. We are currently focusing on 6th geometry, which started with a bit of a struggle, but is now coming along nicely. She's pretty excited to begin 6th grade in the fall at the neighborhood public school with all this background knowledge already within her.
We finished our social studies curriculum on Monday by visiting the civil war trails.
She still needs to complete her art project, but has until the end of the month before she needs to present it to us.
I am pretty proud of both of us. I wasn't sure how homeschooling would turn out, but I really enjoyed it, and Isabella did as well. I think I might actually miss it next year.
