spring is in the air....

... Posted in Homeschooling

I'm really more of a fall person, but I like this time of year. Well, today, anyhow... it was warm, and sunny, but a bit breezy... I had a bit more energy today and actually got my floors scrubbed. And made lasagne. And no-bake cheesecake. Lots of both. We had what seemed like a ton of company for supper (actually, it was 8 people, 4 of whom were aged 4 and under). It was a good day.

School is nearing an end here for the year. We don't school year-round, and by May I'm ready for a break. Of course, I'm trying to plan for next year too, and getting a tad bit frazzled... by August, when the school stuff comes, we're more than ready to get back at it! I think it would be a lot easier if I went with something like ALL Abeka, or ALL Bob Jones... no scheduling, no decisions, just order the next year and run with it... but I don't (one major reason being the extra cost getting it sent across the border). So, it's decisions on everything. There are just too many great things I want to use! Any advice on 9th grade English curriculum? 5th grade science (hands-on)?

By the way: if anyone has any American History things suitable for 9th grade they'd be willing to lend (or trade) for the year, it sure would help! My oldest daughter is interested.

I'm an autumn lover myself, but it is wonderful this time of year too isn't it! God is good all the time and every season has it's own blessings. This was my first time visiting your blog and I enjoyed it.

God bless,
Tammy

I had just got Young Explorers series Exploring Creation with Zoology 1: Flying Creatures of the fifth Day...by Fulbright. It is done in a Charlotte Mason style. It looks really neat and I am looking forward to using it. Also a really neat book that will compliment that is " Night Science for Kids" by Terry Krautwurst. I hope that gives you an idea for science.
