Distinctly Different

Posted in School
We have had two full days of school now, using the schedules provided by wwww.Amblesideonline.org.  I have Lambies in Years 4,3,2,1, and 0.  I am quite pleased with how things have gone.  We've read each portion of each book, spent much time snuggling and reading together, I have heard some delightful narrations, and we have had free afternoons!  It seemed like a lot of work to cram in the morning, but it really has gone quickly and smoothly!

Each Lambie claims to have found a new favorite book, but they haven't been introduced yet to each book we'll read this term, so I will not share their choices-yet. 

Polly gave a surprisingly wonderful narration on the first section of "An Island Story" by H. E. Marshall.  I didn't even have to teach her how to narrate.  It's a natural skill! 

EmBlem began a typing course, and LOVES it!  She asked to do it during free time...repeatedly.


Everyone remembered how to do their math!  Even with two+ months off! WOO HOO!

We have been watching "America's Got Talent" on TV on Tuesday nights as a family.  Last night was the first time to vote.  We cast most of our votes for "Jonny Come Lately".  I just love that those 15 year olds are so talented and obviously take care to use their time with something other than video games!

Well, between grocery shopping, attending to the pool and surrounding weedbeds, and housecleaning, and, of course, school, we have lots to do today!  See ya' later!

Momma-who has weekend guests coming on Friday!

I have been looking at AO too. That is such a wonderful thing to have available. I found one of the books for year 1 at the grocery store of all places for only $0.99! And of course I snagged it. I'm not sure if I will be using AO but it is definitely on my radar and I incorrporated as much as I could for Year 0. Can't wait to hear more from you on AO.
