The school year is going well so far. I gave up on the daily record keeping, as you can see. But a general update now and then is probably manageable, yeah?

We are on week 5. Changes so far:

• Gil is home instead of at HLS. It turns out I don’t like to share educational responsibility like a hybrid school entails, and the workload was too much. And I don’t like Memoria Press as much as Sonlight/Bookshark. Gil is happy, I’m happy, I presume the HLS folks are happy.
• Switched Trix to Saxon from Teaching Textbooks. We’ll see. I may do the same for Gloria.
• We are not doing NWO drama this semester because the delta variant freaked me out. So we can use Thursday as our off day and we don’t have to scramble to get to a regular Thursday appointment. I like that so much I may switch them to Thursday drama when they do go back.
• We dropped First Form because Visual Latin 2 is much more intense than Visual Latin 1. I think that’s mostly because we coasted on muscle memory for a bunch of it and never actually memorized stuff. But we are doing Lingua Latina still, a new chapter every 2 weeks. I don’t think there’s a better way to learn Latin than Lingua Latina.
• I’m going to have Gil do Biology alongside the Science J lab. The lab is one day a week.

High points:

• Perry got some Crayon Rocks and he can suddenly draw! And write!
• Perry is 100% diaper free!
• Dorothy is reading with more confidence
• Clementine too
• Trix and Glo are enjoying the Eastern Hemisphere and have finished several novels
• Gilbert is moving along and is in the second literature selection. He’s also reading the Lord of the Rings.

I guess that’s all.
