Week 7 - I Need a Reset

The saga of long division continues. I showed Henry the videos on how to do partial quotient division, and he thought it seemed a lot harder than what we were already suffering through.  After three long days, I thought I would be nice and give him a break with a page of adding up grocery prices.  One would think he had never added numbers before.  I'm just going to take a deep breath and plunge back in this coming week.  Baby steps all the way.

We started Ancient Egypt this week.  This is somewhat my jam.  On Tuesday, we started mummifying an apple.  It looks pretty gnarly.  It's supposed to take two weeks to finish.  Thankfully, there was no removing of the brains through the nose involved.  We did some general reading about the history, and we read the Egyptian creation story. Henry already knew about Geb and Nut from a game that he plays online.  I guess not all video games are complete trash. 

Spelling and reading were honestly just "meh" and not really worth talking about.

Big Sister having Monday off was a big ding in my week.  I like it better when I have five good days to work with.  I sincerely hope this week is a bit less stressful, and slightly for exciting.
