Welcome to my homeschooling rants and raves! I hope you enjoy your visit and come back again!
On Friday, Michaela decided to try to take the unit test on decimals and see if she could pass it so she could be spared having to do all the work. She desperately wanted to return to Time 4 Learning. She passed with flying colors and so began her day today with Math once again.
She definitely prefers Time4Learning over the DVDs from Bob Jones HomeSat program. (Not that I blame her, as the pre-algebra tapes are *not* the best! Too bad Mrs. Vick doesn't teach Pre-Algebra!)
Our Educational Specialist with Horizon Charter School arranged for Daniel to be involved in a math online program called "Aleks." Daniel tried that today instead of the Math from Abeka. I don't like not having any control over what he is doing, though. I have to find out if there is a way to log on as a parent or something.
So, the upshot is, we are still adjusting to exactly what we will be doing. Aleks claims to adjust according to the student's ability. It will be interesting to see if it does. Daniel seemed content enough. I have asked him to return to do another 20 minutes with it after he finishes lunch. That should give us a guage as to how happy he will be with this approach. It would be nice to find something he enjoys, but it isn't necessary!
