Well, it was good.

I tried to keep it low key, so I wouldn't overwhelm Angie. Her attitude was good for the most part. I think where the attitude went a little sour was when she went to do her math. It wasn't really anything hard for her, just doing subtraction problems, nothing new.

She was trying to do her math on a lap desk sitting on the couch which ended up not being very comfortable, so when the complaining started, I had her go to the dining room table. But first, I made her do some stretches to loosen up.

She was not too thrilled about that and, after doing them for a little while half-heartedly, finally said she was going to do her math.
Other than the math, Angie did the Preparing work with a pretty good attitude. She is reading the remainder of the ER books we didn't finish last year. I found a copy of the Beginner's Bible and have her reading that, since she did the other one when she first started the ER's. I gave her a certain amount to read and she ended up reading more, and begged to read more, but I said we needed to get other work done.

I'm really pleased with her reading. At first, she said she did not want to make a shield. But, I told her she WAS going to make one. Once we got started, she got a little more excited about it. She saw some pictures of shields online, and immediately pointed to one and said, "I want one like that!". It was purple, so I said she could make hers purple.

Then we were talking about different symbols for the coat of arms, and she had fun making choices for that. I think she will really enjoy hearing the stories from Grandpa's Box, just by her reaction when I finished the first chapter.

She even traced the map for science in the arctic tundra book!

This is definitely improvement and showing more confidence.
I was going to go half speed, but before we even started this morning, I decided to do three days each week, in between half and full speed. After doing our first day, I think Angie can handle that. We didn't get the Independent History box done today, and we didn't get the science notebook done, plus a little coloring and cutting for the coat of arms. I think that is good for the first day.

Three days/week will work out fine. Maybe in the fall we will try full speed. Will decide that when the time comes. I am so happy to have everything written out for me, terrific books chosen, and wonderful things to teach my daughter. Thank you Carrie! Looking forward to tomorrow.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. III John 4
