The Feminist Homeschool.

Inventing the female canon, one grade at a time.

Quick update

What we’re studying:

  • Ancient Egypt
  • Bees and Wasps

Still not reading on her own yet and very reluctant. I am thinking about trying a different program to see if it’s a better fit.

Number sentences in math (addition). I am impressed at how quickly she picked up this concept, and can quickly write 3 different equations that all equal 5.

Handwriting is going well, but she still mixes up b and d, and writes her 3s backwards regularly. We’re also trying to reverse her habit of writing from bottom to top when she needs to be writing top to bottom.

Today, she finished painting a solar system kit. We aren’t studying the universe now, but it was an unfinished project that she randomly decided to finish. She’s been fascinated by planets and stars for a long time now and is looking forward to getting the whole thing put together and hung in her room. It does look pretty cool.
