Homeschooling - 9.5 Weeks In

   This week... Zoko finished reading New Moon, and started Eclipse (book #3 of the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer). She also started a new comprehension book, Worlds Of Wonder (Abeka gr 3).
   We had a 3-4 day weekend here. Three days for Mutt, and four days for B and Odie. As for Zoko, she caught my head cold, and spent most of the weeked curled up under several blankets in my rocking chair and sleeping in the living room. So, she ended up with a four day weekend by default. Today, she is feeling much better, and she should be back to a full schedule by Wednesday or Thursday. Without further ado, here it is, grade 2, progess report 8...
