Believe me when I say that I'm not trying evade the topic of school....LOL.....we're just on vacation. I know I haven't talked much about it lately. We've just had SO MUCH going on with life in general.
So, here's my attempt to get current with what's happening in our school room....
Well, it looks like it's under construction most of the time!! LOL It ends up being the transition room for items being moved from one room to another. With changing rooms around and getting ready to paint, our school room looks more like a storage space right now.
The kids are mainly keeping up with reading and math through the summer. We took a break from everything for the first couple weeks. Now we're settling into a semi-structured schedule of getting school and chores done BEFORE anyone leaves the house to play outside for the day. =]
We met with a few hsr's on Tuesday for a playdate at the park. It was fun and relaxing. The kids hung out and played all kinds of games while the moms sat and talked in the shade. We needed it!!
The fall schedule has not made it to paper yet. I'm having to wait this year to buy some curriculums....and I'm hoping to find them used. In particular, I'm trying to find some feedback on a language arts curr called Analytical Grammar. It was recommended by the SCM website. We're also moving on to Mystery of History Volume III, Apologia General Science for my 8th grader, and Swimming Creatures for the younger two. I'll post our schedule in mid-July, after vacation.
A couple girlfriends and I are working on a small co-op for Thursday afternoons, after CBS. She's going to be teaching Institute for Excellence in Writing (I can't wait.). I'm doing Beginning Public Speaking again (Communicators for Christ). We plan on having two groups, 2nd-5th and 6th-8th. If we're still here for the second semester, we'll have a Book Club too.
We're registered for CBS. We'll be studying the Book of Luke. CBS is a global organization. You should check and see if you have a group in your town.
I have yet to get anything on my fieldtrip calendar!! It looks like it's going to have to come together in July....God willing. =]
Okay, that should do it for now. I promised Honey that I'd get up and mow the lawn this mornng and it's already 85 degrees!! Gotta go!
