Jacob worked on more of the Jacob's Algebra book. I really like it. He also saw the movie Munich with Noah. He is also whipping through the Pullman fantasy series and is keeping up with history. I noticed that he has a narrative about peter Stuyvesant in his history notes. We are going to work on polishing that into a finished product. He has great syntax but not such good punctuation. He is not bad at it, just a bit unconscious about being attentive to it. More dication needed.
Johannah and I went to her Algebra II tutoring (she finished her exams this week) and then went to Barnes and Noble where we worked on thesis statements and the expository essay. I like going there with her. I feel like I finally have time to help her work on writing in a way that she will do the work. We checked over her credits and she only has one history course left to graduate! I'm very proud of her.
We'll keep working on math and English next year, but she is done except for American History. She's done well, in spite of the challenge of school.
We are now scheduling her college visits.
