- We started lots of subjects at once (math, science, reading, history, grammar, composition, spelling) and it all went well without feeling like we were overwhelmed. Best of all, Audrey didn't seem overwhelmed, and actually seemed to really enjoy it.
- Kept Lorelei engaged while working on school.
Areas for improvement:
- Did not get a poem memorized.
- Got frustrated with Lorelei several times.
- Audrey is not doing as much reading aloud as we would like.
