• Aug. 16, 2009 - First Week of School!

We just finished our first week of school.  It went mostly well. I made this nice assignment schedule for Mark and then both of us forgot to look at it each day.  We left off some work. We started learning about ships from our Adventures in Sea & Sky history class.  I kind of forgot about having Mark do his extra work for this class, so we will need to fix that this week. Mark did well with doing science on his own and enjoyed it too!  He also jumped right back into Algebra rather than reviewing first.  He is doing that more on his own this year. Mei likes her new work and is as busy as ever being a third grader.  She likes having science that is just her subject. We mostly figured out the extras we will do this year.  Mark will do Boy Scouts and Mei will do Girl Scouts.  Mark will also do Odyssey of the Mind with some other homeshcool kids.  He really likes it.  Not sure what Mark will do during Girl Scouts.  Another mom is trying to organize a class or something for the boys.  He may need to spend that time on school work. As for Paul, we officially moved him into the dorm at college.  His classes start on Wednesday.  So far it has not sunk in that he is gone.  Seems like he is just away for awhile.  Of course, he does plan to come home every weekend, so maybe we won't miss him too much!  Via Facebook,I read that he found all his classrooms and visited the cafeteria to eat!  Just what a mom wants to hear! Mark - first day of school Mei - first day of school Why we love homeschooling!!  Yes, we had real food before we had ice cream.  The game is called SET.  It was rated a top game by Mensa, so we are getting in a little critical thinking skills over lunch.  We usually play some game at lunch.  Our favorites are Skip-Bo, Phase 10, Uno, Set, and Blokus.
