  • Math: Chris - Math-U-See: Delta - Marly - Math-U-See: Zeta - Celeste - Math-U-See: Algebra (review for mom...again!)
  • Exercise - We are using the Wii Fit Plus while "the weather outside is frightful". It is harder than it looks!
  • Writing - Chris - daily journal entries. Marly - writing her own book and Transformational Writing class assignments (see Marly's projects for more info.)
  • Guitar Practice

  • Marly - She is taking a Transformational Writing class at TJED Academy and Prep School as well as starting Seminary this semester. Our schools here only allow Seminary for a semester as release time, so instead of a 45 minute class it is 1 1/2 hours. We decided not to do early morning Seminary and we carpool with two other homeschooled girls.
  • Celeste - Getting ready for taxes and learning what I need to or can claim for foster care.
  • Family - Shoveling snow, organizing and purging items we no longer need as part of our Six Month Inventory and Purge.
