Life In The Creek

• Sep. 13, 2008 - Moving Right Along...

Here is an update on Madison and our homeschooling journey.

Here it is the middle of September and Madison is 3/4 of her way through her first semester books in her Singapore Math and Explode the Code. We still have plenty of work and have incorporated doing History
(BJU Heritage Studies) and Science (Christian Liberty Press and some other life science unit studies) Of course we have Bible and AWANA as well as handwriting and copy work.

We are really enjoying schooling this year. When asked what her her favorite subject is  "ALL OF THEM" but then goes on to name Reading, Math, Science and History and of course Art/Crafts.
Got to love a girl who school.

We have begun another year with Keepers At Home Keepers Of The Faith and we are off to a great start.
Madison is already working on a few badges Decoupage, Ceramics and a Friendship currently. Some badges take time to master the recommended skills.

We also are getting ready to start HFHG Co-Op (One day a week for 4 hours) and quite excited for another semester.
The classes which Madison will be taking
  • Spanish (History,Culture & Language)
  • PE (Physical Education)
  • Penguins Unit Study/Lapbook
  • Dinosaurs (A Creation Perspective)


Madison has been invited to participate in the Competitive Dance Team Mini Rockettes at the studio where she attends. She is also taking an additional Ballet class as well as a Combined Class  that is mixed and has 1/2 hour Ballet, Jazz and Tap class combined so we are at the studio 2 days a week for an hour and a half each time.

We have begun our Field trips already as well, as we are headed to  a farm to learn about farm life, harvesting and animal life.
We have quite a few field trips lined up this year with several going to see theater productions and hands on activities. Nothing like a well rounded child.


We have a very exciting year and loving every minute of it as well.
I recently ordered some Homeschool Tee's to be worn when we have to go out during the day during school hours. Great Homeschool Tshirts

Below are some of our favorites as there are so many to chose from are:

We already have the first two listed the the ones that follow are the new ones we ordered.







Until next time...................................Have a Great Homeschool Kind of day!

Those are so cool, I'll be checking out the link. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving me a comment :) As for teaching my dd how to knit, our Keepers leader had a little kids book with a cute rhyme for each step. "Under the Fence, Catch the Sheep, Back we Come, Off we Leap." She would just say it to herself for every step until she got it. It took a while, and it took alot of patience on both our parts, but now she's got the hang of it. Good luck with your dd's knitting.
