We went to Pennypacker Mills Historic Site with a group of homeschooling friends. Here are the kids reporting on their attempt to describe archival items (one of two activity centers, followed by a tour of the house):
We went to the pool and for a few walks.
W took his Accuplacer tests for dual enrollment at Montgomery County Community College. We are proud of his scores, and possibly prouder that he persisted calmly and effectively for three hours. We had practiced for the reading and math sections but didn't know there was an essay portion, plus his workstation wasn't working correctly so he had to cut and paste to make corrections to his writing, so it took him an hour to write the essay! He is now enrolled for English 101 and on a waitlist for Computer Science 1: Programming/Concepts. If he can't get in to that he may take Music Appreciation or a movie appreciation course, both of which would count for his planned major and would also count as an art or music course for 10th grade. He is disgruntled to learn that he still has to do math this year (since he still has to do two more years of math for PA homeschool law ....)
D and J went to their religious education classes.
I read to the girls:
A Computer Called Katherine: How Katherine Johnson Helped Put America on the Moon by Suzanne Slade
Carmela Full of Wishes by Matt de la Pena
Always in Trouble by Corinne DemasR and W read independently.
D and J began working with LOF, Explode the Code, and Handwriting Without Tears.
This week included 5 days of instruction.
