Firstborn 14 January 2008

Today I finished my lesson 1 math test and completed three pages of math in lesson 2. In lesson 2, I worked on identifying and building fractions. I wrote them out in number form and word form (i.e., 4/5 and four-fifths).

In Latin for Children, I began chapter 15 which discussed Sentence Patterns A and B. Sentence pattern A is SN-V (Vir intrat. The man enters.) Sentence pattern B is SN-LV-PrN (Julia est puella. Julia is a girl.) Pattern B always uses a linking verb whereas, Pattern A uses an actioncaverb. Predicate nominatives always follow a linking verb and rename the subject (Julia = girl).

I also worked on translation in my Latin reader. I translated two sentences about Hannibal and labelled the sentence patterns.

My sister, Sunshine, and I continued to work on our North American Explorers history book. Today we added Eric the Red. Sunshine labelled a map and I began a summary of his life.

Lastly, I worked on my typing program. I am working on capitals on the home row and e & u plus periods.
