Our second full week was largely uneventful. We watched all of It Happened One Night and both enjoyed it. He chose Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for the next movie.
We have settled on a routine for the morning. First we listen to the Writer's Almanac, followed by CNN Student News. Noach is very fond of poetry and the Writer's Almanac is usually a charming beginning to the day.
OM Civics really increased his workload and he was displeased by that. There is a lot of writing to do. There were two essays to be done last week. Since this is a very short week I let him put one of them off.
Math at the whiteboard is much less stressful for both of us. He hates to write on paper.
Week 2 1/2 Preview
We are not adding in any other Civics or Science during this week which will be Week 2 1/2. Rosh Hashanah will take up the last two days. Practicing the Ashrei for Thursday morning will be Hebrew for this week. Completing the literary essay from K12 Language Arts will be the prime focus of work. Finishing the last essay from Lesson 2 in Civics will be the second focus.
L'shana tovah. PRM

Happy Rosh Hashanah! I might borrow a leaf from your book some time and do a classic movie study too. The kiddo loves stuff like that. Have a lovely week ahead!
It's not much of a study really. More a classic movie fest. And one could argue about the "classic" designation. I'm not sure The Odessa Files is really a classic, just old.
