Progress Report

Kappa-Epsilon Academy
February 2000

Our progress through the month of February 2000:

Math: Kevin has started his next book, Advanced Math. He has mainly been reviewing things from last year. He is also working with Keys to Geometry, when he doesn't feel like working on Advanced Math.
Erin is still working with Keys to Algebra and Keys to Geometry. She had a test in Keys to Algebra and got a 98% on it. Good job.

Vocabulary, Language Arts: In Vocabulary we are finishing up our weekly lists of 15 words. It looks like we'll have enough words to last to the end of this semester, then we will review the entire list, matching up words with similar meanings, finding opposites, and attempt to incorporate these words in our creative writing work.

In Language Arts we are focusing mainly on Creative Writing this year. I've asked Kevin and Erin to choose at least one favorite from their first semester work, and "polish" it up into a finished work for this semester.
We have also began to use Daily Grammar work sheets for fun and to review some of what we learned.
We are also continuing Greek and Latin root words-to help with our vocabulary skills-the words we've learned are--

  • scribo, scriptum - write
  • plico, plicatum - fold
  • dico, dictum - speak, say
  • biblos - book (Greek)
  • liber, libri - book (Latin)
