Well, things are just going with the flow around our house. I have made my plans as of where I would like for us to be in our subjects at a certain time, but not really pushing each day we have to do this & we have to do that. We have been just getting up & going with the flow. The children are loving it.

     We do our math and everything else just falls in place. We choose what book we want to read from and start reading. As we read, we pick out the important contents about the material we are reading & notebook it, or more of a lap book style in a note book.

     My DH bought me a new camera so I plan to put some picts of what we have been doing on my blog, just as soon as I get him to put them on here for me.

     I was showing my DH their notebooks today & they are filling up. We have covered so much material in 4 weeks. I have been walking around my house asking my DC questions about the material we have been covering every chance I get to see if they are getting it.  With this being our first year schooling with this method, I am very precautious, wanting to make sure this is going to work for us. I believe it is. I've seen many  changes in my DC's learning habits. (My DS even got caught reading, HURRay!!!!!)

     One of the things my DC are so excited about with their schooling right now is our play we are putting together. We have been reading about the Boston Tea Party & I found a play on the internet of it so we are making our props right now for their big performance. How excited they are. 

     We even found a cute cartoon about the Boston Tea Party on the internet & my Ds love's it. He has been walking around quoting the captions over & over.  I can tell already this is going to be a part of history they are going to remember. Having fun & education work great together.

     If any of you out there are having a time with your DC wanting to get involved with their school work just lay off of school & say let's have some fun & spice it up with hands-on. It seems to motivate them again in their studies. For some reason my DC don't think they are schooling when we are reading, cutting out things, printing things to go in a notebook, or painting cardboard boxes for our history play. Oh, but what learning Mamma can see going on!

     Well, more later on our studies. I've got to get the poem out that I told you all I'd put on here from my last post. Blessings to all of your homeschools. Traci
