"Stand Firm and Hold Fast . . ."

Topsy-Turvy Wednesday

We began our Summer Term on Monday.  Since it IS summer (!), I decided to make Wednesdays a fun day.  We are up early on both Saturdays (it takes almost all day to do yard work and our weekly cleaning chores) and Sundays (we usually go to the 8am Mass at our Church)  so I thought it would be great to make this our "sleep in" day.  I didn't tell the girls about it till they woke up this morning.  The oldest two got up at 9:30 and the littlest one woke up at 10am!!

My 9yodd made biscuits for breakfast and then we all sat around eating her delicious biscuits and drinking chocolate milk.  Then I told them our plan - we would play this morning and do our school work after lunch!  They loved the idea!

That sounds like a great idea. Sleep in days are lots of fun. We do that occassionally.

I like the idea of a topsy turvy day...i might try that. we always start with chores and then school, so a free morning and then school and chores after lunch would be a nice switch once in a while. I'll store that in my memory bank.

Description
I am a Catholic homeschooling mom of 4 girls. We have used a variety of curricula and methods over the past ten years but we always return to the traditional classical model. Our morning studies focus on the basics - Latin, Arithmetic, Spelling and Writing. We spend our afternoons reading, knitting, baking, sewing and biking. Isn't homeschooling wonderful?
