Saxon Math 3 - Fractions

Here is what Zachary was working on one day last week. Sorry the picture is so bad. He had to make up fraction addition sentences by dividing the whole into parts. He has been enjoying math. Especially the day that he was learning about measuring cups. He got to make brownies.

English Issues!

A few weeks ago Zachary had been complaining that the English we have been doing was boring and easy. We have been doing Rod and Staff English grade 2. So, I finally gave him the unit test for verbs. He made a hundred. Well, I guess he was bored. So, we started doing the next unit. I could tell he was bored. So, I gave him the unit test again. He only missed 2 questions. I was right! So, now we have started unit 4 with only unit 5 to go. We did 2 lessons and then I gave him the unit review quiz. He did alright the only issue is that he didn't want to write. UGH! That is our biggest issue right now. So, tomorrow I will give the next unit review for unit 4 and see how he does. If he does OK we will move on if he doesn't we will go back and review. So, in doing all this I believe he will start Rod and Staff English grade 3 either in December or January.
