Week 5

• Latin- Caleb is doing really well with this subject!  He has his declensions memorized well and knows his vocab.  He continued working on his exercises and spent time drilling using Quizlet.
• Math- He worked Problem Sets 17-20.  Area of rectangles, multiplying fractions and whole numbers, fractional part of a number, symbols for multiplication, multiplying and dividing fractions, multiples, least common multiples- those were his areas of study this week.  In class he played math games and reviewed concepts from week before.
• Logic- Caleb read Lessons 11-15 and did the exercises that went with them.  He wrote out all definitions.  He began working on the square of opposition with the goal of complete memorization in two weeks.
• Science- Caleb researched Isaac Newton this week.  He had to make 20 notecards so that he could present in class with them.  He was called on in class to combine his notecards with another student's and give his presentation that way.  He did a great job!
• Current events- We opted out of this subject due to the topic.
• LTW- Caleb came up with an issue from Little Britches and created an ANI chart with 25 items in each column.  He used several workbook pages from LTW Student Workbook to incorporate the five common topics into his brainstorming process.  He is improving with his independence and ability!
