Back To School Month #2



Month 1 is complete and I have to say - I probably failed a few subjects. The intention to learn was there, the desire was not. Maybe this month I'll be more diligent?

Here's the update:


  • English/Literature - Finished To Kill A Mockingbird and LOVED it. I plan on watching the movie very soon. 
  • Home Ec - I can't seem to get the sleeves right on Brenna's dress, so it will be a skirt. Procrastinating big time on this! 
  • Physical Education - I've attended Zumba pretty regularly and love it. 
  • "Foreign" Language - Got all 50 words down! 
  • Math - Thanks to a website called Math Is Fun, I re-learned this! 
  • Science -I found a great sale on laundry detergent, so this may be put off for a while.
  • History - Big fail on this. My goal was to know how WW1 started, how the US got involved and how the war ended. I didn't learn a darn thing about this war. 


This month I'm going to just focus on a couple things. 

  • Learn an additional 50 words in sign language.
  • Finally learn about WW1.
  • Read Wuthering Heights. 
Any ideas on what else I could learn? What are YOU learning this month?

  2. Being the big nerd that I am, I could totally tell you how WWI started, how the US got involved, and how it ended, but you wouldn't really learn if I just told you. It would be interesting to study too the relationship between the end of WWI and the instigation of WWII. If you want the cliff notes version, let me know!

  3. Wuthering Heights - awesome! Try to read it without Spark notes, though. Do see the original film. It is the most maudlin.
