Homeschooling - 10.5 Weeks In

   This week... Zoko was sick on Sunday and Monday. Plus, Monday was no school/work for everyone else here. But, overall, she still had a productive week. She received her first letter from her new penpal, and sent a response. She clocked more time for Home Economics and Art than she has in a while. She also added a Free Reading book to her assignment list, Glory Of Unicorns (Bruce Coville). We did not get as much time in for Physical Education as we had been doing, I haven't felt up to our daily walks. I'm hoping to resume them shortly. Here it is, grade 2, progess report 9...
