Sep. 2, 2008 - Week 2
Well, week 2 has been a bit hectic but is underway. We got some books today that we ordered late (thinking I had them but realizing at the last minute I had loaned them out to who knows who!!!) so can start those tomorrow.
We are also jumping full into the Contenders For the Faith with the boys. We are starting on the Health & Fitness badge first (my choice) and then we'll go to Archery (their choice). I am going to design and make banners for their wall with their names and Contenders on it so they can put their badges on it as they earn them. They are very excited about this. If Kevin (or even Nathan) were able to teach these skills I would open it up to other homeschool boys (or maybe just boys) as sort of a club, but I don't want a club for boys being taught by a mom.
Anyway, we are continuing with the reading list on the sidebar during the school year. And we have added Artistic Pursuits for art class. It has an art appreciation for American artists, which I'm excited about. It should be fun.
Thinking about adding a 5 week sign language class if they are willing to take children. If not, maybe I'll skip it. I really don't want to get too filled up with things that pull me away from schooling this year.
Well, my time is done and I'm ready for bed.
