So I left off yesterday talking much about our home. Now lets talk about our school. Michael is 8 and is very much laid back. He absolutely despises any kind of written work. He will do it without moaning and groaning because I don't tolerate that but there is many long hours of sighing and long faces. Wow. This Bloggin' thing is hard to do .....I have had to stop 3 times already this morning. Anyway, I try to do as little busy work as possible with him. Next year I plan on using Charlotte Mason's simply grammar. Hope it works. Any feedback I can get would be nice. Please? For math we are using Math-U-See and I plan to stick with that. He and it work well together. Science we are using  Apologia Flying  Creatures of the Fifth Day. He loves it. But I am wondering if its a little too grown up for him. I have found another science I think both he and I might like called Real Science for Kids. Have you heard of it? Please tell me about it! I may let him pick since he already likes Apologia. History we did out of the A Beka workbook this year but next year I am looking at Story of this world(I think thats what its called, gotta double check) but I still need to research reviews on that one. I would also like to learn more on Cantering across the Country as well. Sounds fun though.  I look forward to meeting other homeschoolers and discussing ideas, although I have been a lurker on many of your blogs for a while. Hope we can be friends!

    We our off now to finish our school work and go pick up trash in our neighborhood and play ground along with a little playing of course! Have a great Earth Day!
