Hello Autumn
Here it is October already! When did that happen? We are moving along in our schoolwork but not without some issues. Not everyone has a great attitude about school so the principal has stepped in to help work out some adjustments! Homeschooling the upper grades is quite different from the younger years. We shall persevere and the Lord will see us through!
As I glance out the window beside me I can see beautiful color in the trees across the street. I love this time of year, not only for it's beauty but because the crisp, fall air brings about welcome changes. The fresh apples are out and they are abundant here in western NY! (I feel an apple crisp coming on....) Not too mention all the baking I've tried to avoid through out the summer --- now I want to flick on the oven (it's a new convection oven to boot!) and bake up some muffins, breads and roasts.
And don't you just love to pull out the cozy throws and snuggle up in the evening? It has me thinking about what new book to choose for a read-a-long. I've already coaxed Jordan into lighting the fireplace a few times. =)

Homeschool Open House
The Homeschool Lounge is hosting their annual Homeschool Open House where you can share about your homeschool plans for the upcoming year,meet other homeschoolers, and win great prizes too!
Homeschool Lounge Open House
Our curriculum plans for 2009 are listed over in my right hand side bar under each of the children. We will continue to participate in co-op which has been a huge blessing over our last 9 homeschool years! I have seen the Lord provide many opportunities for the kids through co-op....
Kayla will continue with Spanish 2 (a great class to study within in a group) and will be completing her
Apologia Chemistry labs at co-op (while completing the textbook at home).
Jordan and Jesse be taking a NY state history class which goes along perfectly with the "Around NY in 80 Days" curriculum I was planning to do with them anyway! Also, Jesse will be taking a gym class.
Joshua will also participate in co-op! He is taking a gym class for his age group as well as partcipating in a "ABC" class that I will teach.
All of these classes help to relieve my teaching burden as well as meet NY State requirements!
At home we are trying out a few new (to us) books as well:
"Teaching the Essay" - Analytical Grammar
"Our Nation Under God" - Christian Liberty Press
"With Art in Mind" - BJU Press
"Building Better Bodies - Health" - Hayes publishing
My favorite resource for buying Homeschool materials is Rainbow Resource! If you've never tried them you need to visit their website and request one of the 1000+ page catalogs!
May God bless your homeschools this year!
WAIT!!
Here are just a few of the great prizes you can win just by entering.... below are my top choices!
1. Rainbow Resource Center gift card
2. Homeschool Boutique T-shirts
3. Home Educating Family magazine subscription
