A Poem

I have a brother, his name his Bill.
He wants to be a shark.
He swims, he bites, but he cannot kill.
I guess he'll have to stay a boy.

Week 4: September 26-30: Agent 004's work

  • You and Agent 007 both have doctors’ appointments on Wednesday afternoon .  We will do “Books with Mama” at Lunch Time.  There will be no English meeting that day.  Please bring a reading assignment with you to do while waiting and during Agent 007's appointment. There will be no extended trip for Nature Study; you will be bringing your nature journal to our backyard.
  • Remember that with Latin class, piano lesson, and wheel-throwing, Thursday’s schedule is very broken up.  Like last week, I have removed “Books with Mama” from the schedule, but expect all remaining work to be completed before the start of school on Friday.

Week 3: September 19-23: Agent 004's Assignments

Schedule Adjustments: 

  • Friday is a field trip day; there are no academic assignments.
  • Papa is in charge of Morning Basket on Monday.
  • We will experiment this week with trading English and Check-in in the schedule.  We will do English just before or just after lunch.  Check-in will be along with "Books with Mama."
  • Two assignments (American History on Monday and Science on Tuesday) have been cancelled or postponed to allow you time to help with completing the St. Dominic peg dolls.
  • Piano and Wheel throwing both begin on Thursday afternoon and will repeat weekly.  Piano is at 1:30pm and Wheel Throwing is at 3:45.  As I picture the day, you will do cursive, Math and French immediately after Morning Basket, then take a break for an early lunch before Latin class.  There is a short break before piano.  You will have a half-hour during Agent 007's lesson to work quietly (World History?) and some time after your lesson to do English with me, but I am aware that the schedule is tight.  We will see how this week goes; we may have to adjust Thursday afternoon's assignments in the future.  For this week I have cancelled "Book with Mama" assignments for the day.  You will still have science - you could do this Thursday evening, Friday before our trip, or get it done earlier in the week.
