January 2011 Summary

Butterfly
  • 81 hours
  • Community Service 9 hours
FigNewTon
  • 73.5 hours
  • Community Service 8.5 hours
January was a hard month for school.  There were doctor appointments every week.  FigNewTon struggled with her attitude because she wasn't sure she wanted to be homeschooled.  She goes through this at least once a year, sometimes worse than others; usually about the time she doesn't want to do a particular assignment or when she thinks she isn't getting to skate enough.  Again, both girls are just over the amount of required hours for this time in the school year.  On the 14th, I took the girls to a Library of Congress traveling exhibit.  On the 18th, Butterfly and I spent the day at the zoo and the Durham, including an exhibit on Abraham Lincoln.  Both girls continue to volunteer at the library and cleaning our church.  We are still playing catch-up on some assignments from while I was so sick in the fall.  At co-op, they began an Old Testament survey class and a Speech class.  Their first speech was a Brown Bag Special.  They are not in Art class this semester.
