We are really starting to ramp up on our homeschool again. Christian finished his last Pre-Algebra homework assignment yesterday and we got everything corrected up. He will be doing some major, end of section testing today, then he will start Elementary Algebra tomorrow. We are all very excited about that. Kelly should be ready to move on from Elementary Algebra to Intermediate Algebra by the end of the week. She will go back to Geometry toward the end of this year, then on to Pre-Calculus in the second half of next year. This is a pretty big deal for us because both of the kids are finishing up a year of material and moving on to new text books. I am very happy with their progress.
We had a great little session last night on logical fallacies. We had previously studied “Red Herrings” and moved on to “Ad Hominem” arguments. What was really great was that, in the end of chapter exercises, both Kelly and Christian were able to identify, not only the Ad Hominem arguments we studied this week, but the Red Herrings we studied several weeks back. We are looking forward to continuing through this book.
