Math on Mondays?

In Israel, we have to go to ulpan, like I have said before. In this case, we do not have English, social studies, or math. So, we have found our own ways to learn these subjects.

For English, we have our mom teaching us writing and we both read a lot every day. We have been learning chunk paragraphs, hoping to keep up with our class back at Weizmann. We have recently decided to create a blog, where we write stories about what's happening here.

There's not much to say about what we're learning in social studies because we basically are in history. We don't learn that much social studies here since where we are is a historical place.

Math was a little trickier. At first, we didn't know what to do about math. Then, we decided to get a math tutor. Not to help us with math, to keep us fresh will all the basic math skills. We interviewed two math tutors and decided on one. She is a very nice woman and is really helpful.

We have math twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday, after ulpan. We use the computer a lot to do our work. We use Kahn Academy and another program for math. It's very helpful and we are keeping up in math.

I think it's good that we didn't let our school subjects slip away from us instead of just going to ulpan to learn Hebrew. I think we made a good choice on this math tutor and when we get back, we'll be caught up with math.
