Homeschooling - 7.5 Weeks In

   This week... We started back up with Latin. Only got one lesson done, but it's a start. ZoKo also started a new history textbook (ABeka grade 4) and a new Outdoor Girls book (Outdoor Girls In A Winter Camp). We've been walking an average of 1.5-2 hours a day, 3-4 days a week for exercise. She's also been doing yoga and pilates in her free time, which I keep forgetting to log for her hours time-wise. Oh well. She's ahead for hours still, and keeping up with her daily work about 4 days a week at this point. The day she is falling behind I just carry the work over, so I'm only writing her schedule one day at a time. That way, she doesn't end up having to do four or five math assignments or science lessons all on one day. She is doing the classic literature, core reading, and independent reading on a daily basis, seven days a week. So, here it is, grade 2, progress report 6...
