Progress Report

Kappa-Epsilon Academy
March 2000

Our progress through the month of March 2000:

Math: Kevin is still working on Advanced Math and Keys to Geometry. He had 2 tests in Advanced Math and 1 in Keys to Geometry. He scored excellent on all of them.
Erin is still working with Keys to Algebra and Keys to Geometry. She finished Keys to Geometry Book 3 with a 100% on the last test.

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--

  • scio, scitum - know
  • discipulus - student
  • saurous - lizard
  • amo, amatum - love

With this, we have finished out Greek and Latin book. We will have a test on the last 25 words and then we will be working up to a test on all 100 words.
