My learnings between the days of August 25- 27, which mark the beginning of the school year. August 28, 2010

On the day that I began my studies, Aug. 25,a Tues., math was my first priority.  In the hour I had set aside for that subject, I completed more than 2 lessons in the curriculums. I read the short paragraph there about what I was about to undertake, completed five or six of the examples, and then did ten or so other problems of a different kind of math work. That is basically the process I will be using in math every day. These first few days will be review for me. This day I rewiewed how to add and subtract , divide and multiply  whole #'s and money. My next subject would have been Language Arts had I had my workbook. Instead I spent 10 minutes on German and then moved on to a half hour study of Latin. In Geman I went over the 5-w words.  ( where when who how why).  In Latin I reviewed the first lesson over.  History was my fourth subject. I read about  the first people on Earth. The book I'm reading from has a Christian viewpoint. It is a book that was meant for kids so it is interesting to me. It is also sometimes funny

On Aug. 27, things went much the same way on this day. In math, I worked on the numberline, story problems, and place values. In L. Arts, I did an easy excercise on synonyms and antonyms. In German, I tried to memorize the days of the week. (Sonntag, Montag, Dienstag, Mittwoch , Donnerstag, Frietag, Samstag,)
 In Latin I did some more exercises. I worked on the parts of  a Latin sentence.  In history, I read more about the first nations of the world and their first wars.  I also started a much bigger history book which is by Susan Wise Baur.
It is meant for adults to read, so I don't understand all of it. It is interesting too. It talks a lot about how people recorded what they did and how we know what we know about them.
