I'm planning to start posting a weekly homeschool journal entry.  I don't know if anyone really cares to read this stuff or not, but I know it will be an encouragement to me at least.  :-)

We are in our third week of Term 2 so I'm going to post a summary for each week so far.

Our first week back to school we didn't get all the way up to full schedule.  The dc did mostly independent work.  We didn't do all of the "together" things that I wanted to do.
