Yesterday was supposed to be the first day of school.  But Butterfly (13yog) had a volunteer opp yesterday from 10:30-1.  Then the girls had a Girl Scout outing from 3-5pm.  And Bee (9yog) almost broke her nose tree climbing and had to spend 2 hrs in emergicare.  Uh, yeah.

So TODAY was the first day.  Sort of.  Because FRIDAY, the 3 oldest girls are all going out of town with my mom for the weekend.  And next week, they ALL dc are taking turns sleeping at my moms and doing fun field trips during her vacation.  So... well, life goes on.

Yes, I count all of the volunteering and FT as "school", but it was not on my lesson plan.  Guess it was on God's though.  So I don't sweat it.

Today was good.  All the dc sat in on the Bible, Social Studies & Science readings from Day 1 of A World of Adventure.  Bunny (11yog) worked on her LA for Day 1 and read for an hour, Butterfly did remedial reading (Starfall.com) and Bear (6yob)  will do The Story About Ping for the second day from Five in a Row in a few minutes.  Bug (15yob) did a lesson from Spelling Made Simple, read his history books & The Book of God, and will do math when I am off of here. 

Butterfly will do some "B" school with the littles after naptime, and Bunny will read The Big Green Pocketbook to them and work on Before Five in a Row lessons.

Off to do some more "school"!

Loving Learning,

Katie

That is nice that your mom is taking a few at a time. We had lots of interruptions in our first week or two of school tool. I guess that is why it is called school light.

Sounds like you are off to a great start! Even if it wasn't exactly as planned. Ours looked like that too - only our interuption was stomach virus (yuck!). You are right, life goes on and it just isn't worth sweating it out!

Hugs to you friend
