New Year
Well, we're back into the swing of things for the new year!!! Our first full week of school went wonderfully. We followed the Ambleside Online suggestion this year (mostly) of taking off the month of December. We still did some things scattered here and there, but we were really relaxed and enjoyed the holidays tremendously. I rather liked it and may just do it again next year. I fought feeling stressed over getting behind at the beginning, but I finally relaxed. The break did us good. We are off to a fresh start and the kids are working hard.
I have also decided to go ahead and do swim 2 times a week! I didn't do that before Christmas because we were having to travel to town twice a week already for Buster Bus for the littlest Duke.......but, Duke 1 needed it twice to get in the exercise and build up his muscles for swim. I think it will help him feel better about his abilities and feel more at home with the group. I think all of them come 2 times a week and we were the only ones only coming once. So... when we go to swim we pretty much stay in town from 10:30-11:30 for swim, eat a bite of lunch somewhere (McDonald's or pack a lunch and go to the park usually) then go to Buster Bus at 12:45, then to the library to do school work while we wait on the littlest Duke, then pick up the littlest Duke at 2:30 and then home. We really aren't home much for school work but going to the library has actually worked great. We do our school work and look for books. The little Princess has read about all the Amelia Bedelia books they have, she really likes those. Her reading goal for January is 30 books - she wanted to set it at 200 but I talked her into less LOL! She does like to read but we are often busy on the weekends and she isn't always able to.
Hope you have a wonderful 2008! |
