This week... Zoko finished reading Fire Star, and started Fire Eternal (book #4 of the Last Dragon Chronicles by Chris D'Lacey). She's really enjoying the series. I would add in my two cents, but I have yet to read any of the first book even. I know, some mom, right? Oh well, it's on my to-do list, I swear. Right after I finish the booklists and catalogues and get Mom's cd's sorted through, and I actually have enough free time to read. I'm making my booklist a complete version of the ones for the kids, so theoretically, I'll read everything they do, just a question of when. Although, considering that Zoko is currently reading Fire Eternal at the rate of two chapters per day, and reading New Moon at the rate of about 20-30 pages per day, I'm not planning on catching up to her anytime soon. She did alright at keeping up with her assignments this week. But, I can't say the same for myself. This post should have been up Saturday night/Sunday morning. Instead, this is Monday afternoon. Grrr... So, I can either continue to be late and annoyed with myself every single week, or I can change the deadline. Guess which I'm doing. :P Yep, new deadline... The weekly updates are still going to be based on a common calendar week (Sunday through Saturday), but they will be posted the following Monday (like today). If this confises you, then tough. I run the assignments on a Monday to Sunday schedule page, log them on a Sunday to Saturday week, and don't have the free time for blogging until Monday. So yeah, that's just how it's gonna be... Meanwhile, in case you're totally bored with this long rambling, or in case you're ignoring this entire paragraph and jumping straight to the stats, or in case you accidentally stumbled across this post and are wondering what you're doing here to begin wth (the most likely scenario), then here it is, grade 2, progess report 7...
