When I was looking ahead to this week (Week 9), and the following week (Week 10) I was overwhelmed. With Joey having two days off this week, and so much time out of the house, I wasn’t sure how we would fit in all the scheduled work. Much to my amazement, we are sitting […]
So I feel as though we had one of those very unnoteworthy weeks. As I sit down to write this I am not sure I took even one picture. That of course does not include Halloween. Monday: We had kind of an ironic day for Halloween. We spent 2 hours at the dentist getting our […]
Monday: In stark contrast to last weeks time at home, this week we have been very busy; both at home, as well as running around outside of the house. Today we headed out to the RMSC to see the September 11th exhibit that they have right now. The RMSC is the first in the […]
Sunday: Another year has come around and during Fire Safety Week the fire department opens it’s doors for their Open House. It was windy and cold just like it was last year. That didn’t stop us from hopping into the trucks, participating in the Fire Safety Smoke House, and reviewing our exit plan in case […]
Monday: Columbus Day Daddy was home from work today so we lessened the formal table work and took advantage of the “Indian Summer” that we were lucky enough to have. We washed cars, put away summer yard pieces, and ventured out for a nature hike to try and identify some leaves. I wanted to cover […]
Monday: As we are learning about explorers we are talking about how people used to think the world was flat. We are getting to the point where people are realizing the world is round. Since the kids like hands on activities we created “globes” of our own from flat pieces of paper. The possibilities […]
Week number 3 has come to an end. Jayden started Chess Club on Friday which knocked my plans off a little bit. Our Chemistry lab of making the first 10 elements on the Periodic Table with marshmallow did not quite get finished. Luckily we either have time over the weekend or we can finish […]
This was another busy but successful week. We traveled between Greenland and Iceland with Leif Ericcson; we learned about molecules and atoms from their tiny size to the fact that they are always moving; we got free time outside, and shared in the amazing story of Winter, the dolphin with a prosthetic tail! Monday: Ava […]
Monday: This Monday was kind of like our Tuesday. We started our school year out on Friday last week because we are having a big garage sale this weekend and wanted to get a jump start on our week of work. Ava is loving doing her “arithmetic” which for her is just adding right […]
Friday We were scheduled to start next week, but due to a garage sale we are participating in, we won’t be available to do work on Thursday or Friday. To make up for that, we started today. So today is really “Monday” for us! Since I went to a new planning system this […]
. Monday: This is our last “official” week of homeschooling for the year. I will wrap up the paperwork and get it sent in to the district. That is not to say that we are done with learning or work! We school year round. During the summer though we go into a lighter more laid […]
. Monday: Memorial Day: We attended our local Memorial Day parade. Every year we head to a friend’s house who is on the parade route and join in the festivities. There is always someone selling patriot goodies where the proceeds go to the local veterans. Of course we bought the small flags for our kids […]
