Jun. 9, 2008 - Our summer schedule is underway!
Well, we started our summer schedule today! My younger children's reading lists are on the sidebar and I hope to cross them out as they are completed. We will be schooling every other week from now until the end of August. The children are responsible for completing their math (and calculating how to complete the lessons to be done on time) and language arts (mostly done), reading their 20 books and giving an oral report on each book. Our major focus will be on Astronomy and American History.
Today was a fun day with our Astronomy! I'm really looking forward to nice weather so we can go out of town and put into practice what we've learned! Our emphasis is on viewing the stars with the naked eye and learning how God planned on us understanding signs and seasons by the stars, moon and sun in the heavens. It would be fun to use a telescope to view stars, but we are preferring to use no instruments as we discover the constellations and their movements across the sky.
I'm kind of psyched!!
