Bible
Big Bro continued with OTC (Old Testament Challenge) and I with him. We would sometimes discuss interesting learnings at meal times.
English/Literature
For these two weeks he read Job as part of English.
He also did the Epic of Gilgamesh Ancient Literature study. He did well for the quiz.
History
He read Unwrapping the Pharoahs, Exploring World History, and the Encyclopedia of the Ancient World.
Because I had no idea what he was retaining, I asked him to write a few things as a summary or highlights from his reading (except for EWH which he has review questions to do)
Maps/Timeline
He did some maps and also timeline (he is using digital timeline from here)
Biology
He finished Module 2 (Kingdom Monera) and did a test on VHSG with he did well. I needed to sit with him for some lectures so that I could answer some of his questions.
We did a bacteria culture experiment that still needed time to "grow nasty". =)
He went on to Module 3: Kingdom Protista
Math
He continued to work hard at Algebra I. He did a mid chapter quiz and also more practice work on Khan Academy.
Foreign Language
Big Sis and he had a mid chapter quiz.
Academic Skills
I think he is getting a good grip on how to work with high school work. He is conscientious and did his work well. There were days he was tired and the workload was not welcoming, but he still tried hard. All these are really important study skills, in my opinion. He did most of his work independently, except Biology and Algebra.
