Weekly wrap Up 8/28/20--11th grade begins

Now that Firedrake is settled in college. We are back home and beginning to start 11th grade. MarioFan is learning GIS with his father and has enjoyed it so much he is doing it on his own during free time. 

Here he is learning to use open street maps and configure houses.

Next he learned how to configure roads in developing countries on open street maps.

After a lot of back in forth regarding Spanish classes we finally decided on one.  He will be doing an online class with a Spanish teacher.  There will only be four kids in the zoom sessions so lots of one on one learning is expected!  

The books that will be used in this class finally arrived this week.  Class starts in less than two weeks.

I lucked out and found the TT Algebra 2 book and got it on loan through our coop.  MarioFan likes the online version excepts he hates the book being online.  I have been searching everywhere for a cheap copy of the book that he could use along side the online version.  This saved me some money and I can used it for the entire year!

For Literature we are starting with reading some poems from William Blake to begin our British literature program.  We have also begun our grammar, vocabulary, sociology and robotics program this week.

MarioFan's online classes (Chemistry, Economic, and Spanish) will begin in about 2 weeks!  Then we are off to the races with a full load.  

I am currently working on gathering supplies for his Chemistry labs and cleaning and rearranging the school room.  I haven't had time to address it while getting Firedrake off to college.  Hopefully I can post pictures of our new set up this year next week.

We have been in touch with our oldest at college and so far things are going well, fingers crossed it stays that way:)
