Oh yeah...
Homeschooling. That's right. This blog is also about homeschooling. :)
I was about to write that we are getting in the swing of things with school again...sort of. But then I realized that during this period of our life, for some reason, we just "do school" whenever God allows us. Like last week, we had so many people in our house that time in the books was almost non-existent. But that is what God had for us last week. (I am just now realizing that and ok with it) The boys were great sports about it too! Thanks boys!
So! When we aren't entertaining people or running off to help with this or go get that, in the mornings the boys and I have been mainly focusing on Science, History and Math with some reading and writing thrown in there. A couple weeks ago we finished the Apologia "Astronomy" book. Wow! It was so great and we ALL loved it. It looks like we are going to have to do something different until later this year when we are in the U.S. and can buy the rest of the Apologia grade school books. But we have enough books in our library about all kinds of animals and plants so that should keep us busy. Plus we are about to plant a garden so that will get us into Botany.
In the meantime we are trying to get through Story of the World Ancients history book. We are reading all about the Greeks right now. I'd like to finish it and get well into the second book before we head Stateside. We'll see what God has planned for us though. :)
Math is going well as usual for the boys. (Love that Math U See!)
Dane is into his second year using Easy Grammar and I am so pleased with it! Arel will be starting it soon too.
One of our other goals right now is to do a LOT more reading together and individually.
So there's our homeschool report.
I need to remember to take pictures as kids do assignments,etc.
Besides more school (hopefully) this week we are also needing to make a door for the bathroom, get the ground ready for planting a small garden and babysitting our partners' cat and dog.
I'm also wishing I were near some good will stores and ladies from church to gather some basic kitchen items together for a young Quechua couple. Right now they are living near their parents and cooking and eating with them. However they really want to get into their own place and set up their own kitchen as a start of being their own family. This week I need to track down the items they need since they have no money to get these themselves.
Well, Shane and boys just came home from town so I better go. Happy Monday everyone! |
