My son's foot finally seems healed enough to allow him to return to soccer play. His first outdoor game will be tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes. He had his last P.E. class last week, so I'm glad he's able to get back into soccer play. He continues with a once weekly bowling time of 90 minutes, so he's getting some upper body work, too....
He began reading an illustrated version of Huckleberry Finn at home this week. He has gotten into his lit class work regarding To Kill a Mockingbird, too. I believe he really likes the book, as I've caught him reading it after school....
We began work on gravity and flight topics in our little physics related class at home....
We continued reading Marrin's book about America in Vietnam, as well as reading about other topics of that era from Words that Built a Nation. We'll try to get that reading wrapped up next week so we can cover some topics related to Africa and apartheid....
I have him working on various writing projects for me at home right now from a workbook covering J.F.K.'s era, Russian Communism, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Cold War....
I think I forgot to mention last week that my son was reading chapters 18-25 in History of Us, volume 10. This week he read chapters 26-30, and 32-35 (he read 31 earlier).
He read about Langston Hughes this week, and read popular selections of his poetry:
His geography club met. They work on two different states each week. They finished covering South America this week, as well.
Next week he's going to shadow at another high school. We need to get things wrapped up by the end of April and get a decision from him on what he wants to do for next year so that I can get my ducks in a row, too....
