This week's focus was trying to get our morning chores to run more smoothly. We finally got it right this morning. Apparently, we need Daddy home in the mornings to crack the proverbial whip. Sigh.
So while we keep working on the chores, school is going rather well. Jimmy is getting much more comfortable writing his journal assignments. He has written some funny stories from his writing prompts. Quite the sense of humor from that kid! Caleb seems to relish all of his assignments, except the parts where he has to sit still & listen (like for Bible - we're reading Proverbs - & History). One of Caleb's journal assignment was to complete this sentence: "My favorite school subject is..." He said math. Jimmy seems to enjoy reading the most. We just finished reading his first reading comprehension book, where he & I read at the same pace so I can ask questions to make sure he's understood what he read. This book was a Hardy Boys mystery. I was really impressed at how much he retained, especially considering that a mystery has lots of important details that the reader must keep track of.
