Two weeks left of school before Christmas break, and the
homework is flying. Christian has been very busy every night and has had some
kind of test almost every day. Last night, there was a bit of a pause in the
action, and we finished his last book report for this quarter. It was four long
pages and took about an hour, much to his dismay. We have a lot of geography to
do, so I am hoping he makes some major headway on that tonight. He likes
geography, but so far, the tests have not been easy for him. He has made a
couple of Cs. All of those cultural and weather concepts are not easy for him.
The latest chapter is on the United States. We’ll see how well he does on it.
Update: We got through most everything with ease this weekend, including
the geography and a detailed map of Quebec. All we have left now is to type up
a rough draft by the 18th. Christian made an A on his big body systems test, a
major feat considering all of the anatomy and functions he had to learn. He has
all As right now. Not sure if that will hold, but he is trying.
Lego League is now over. The team did not qualify for the
state finals. They were all new to the competition, so maybe next year! Good
job to Christian and his team for giving it their all!
