Nov/Dec ’15 Curriculum

Well, at least this month’s curriculum planning only took 3-4 hours.  I decided to group them together because Dec will be a short month and Nov we will have about 1/2 week off.

I think I covered about half of what I wanted to last month, not too bad.

I can feel the laze starting to set in.  Which means that my presentation calendar isn’t as detailed as it used to be.  I hope it doesn’t really come back to bite me.  On the days when I’m good, it is still very nice to just check the calendar and see what presentation I’m supposed to give.

The kids actually did sing a Halloween song last month and I hope to cover one this month.  We even managed to make some ceramic pumpkins.

In terms of curriculum this month, we’re going to spend November and December just covering Set 3 of Sagebooks.  I’m hoping an extra month will give Astroboy some breather and help solidify characters he forgets.  I no longer have any real goal for Thumper in terms of teaching new Chinese characters because there’s no need.  We’ll just continue to use Anki to see what new words she’s learned.

I really really really hope I get to fractions this month.  And that I make progress in our squaring work.  And geography and geometry.  Those aren’t being touched really right now.
