Sep. 22, 2007 - I'm Still Here!
Hi everybody! I'm still here! Sorry it's been so long!! We started school on Labor Day. It has gone very well although we certainly have faced our share of obstacles - planned and unplanned. The first week of school, my little Bubba got a flu bug and it was a nasty one. Bless his little heart though, it didn't deter him from doing school! We'd be working along and suddenly he would just say, "Gotta go!" Then he would come back and we would pick up where we left off. The next week we had a planned trip to visit Quota friends in North Carolina. We had a wonderful "field trip" to the Greensboro Natural Science Museum (WOW!) and the Greensboro Children's Museum. With all we learned at those places, I felt like we had done several days of school!! This week, I've come down with a cold. Unfortunately I'm not as good a trooper as Bubba and I've been on the couch most of the week. We've managed to do school as Mom felt like it, but it's been a struggle (for me, not him). Next week I think is going to be more normal, but who knows. We are definitely teaching him to care for others and to roll with the flow of life! I guess that is one of the most important things that I can teach him.
Thanks for worrying everybody! I may be a little more scarce with the school year in full swing. Our Moving Beyond the Page curriculum is wonderful!! We are studying communities, the people that make them up and the functions that they provide. This week we have studied goods and services, and wants and needs. It has provoked some interesting discussions. We have also been making great strides in LLATL. It provides him with lots of hands-on things to do and he is learning without even realizing it! His handwriting was one of the things that most concerned me at the beginning of the year and it is improving drastically! Alot of things are falling into place!
Please keep Misty over at www.homeschoolblogger.com/3boyz in your prayers. Her husband had one of those accidents that we construction wives always worry about. She is such an impressive lady, but she is carrying alot on her shoulders right now.
Take care everybody!
Hugs!
