Owings Ohana Homeschool

It's been too long!

Wow! It's been way too long since I last blogged.  I'm horrible at keeping up with this kind of stuff.

 

We are on our "modified" summer schedule.  The kids still have some reading to do over the summer but for the most part we have our days free.   For me that means scrapbooking!   I've finished 18 pages in the last week.   I hope to get alot done over the summer vacation.

 

School wise, we've ordered all but 2 subjects for the fall.  I still need to order Rosetta Stone (Spanish) and bible for the boys.   My daughter and I are going to do a mother/daughter study in the fall (at her request).    Doing lesson plans should be much easier on me this year as we are now comfortable with our curriculum and I can use what's already been done.   For example: my oldest finished Physical Science but my middle one will be going thru that this year and my daughter will be doing General Science which my middle one just finished.   There fore in Science I only have to draw up Biology for my oldest and thanks to Donna Young.org it's practically done for me.  

 

My daughter is taking guitar lessons.   My boys are wrapped up with Boy Scout stuff this summer.  My oldest is camping the next 6 out of 7 weeks.  He's attending the National Jr. Leadership Training this week.   In July he'll be working as part of the staff at the local Boy Scout camp.   The second week of July, my husband and both boys head off to Maui for a week of summer camp with their troop (must be nice huh??) 

 

That's about it here for now.

I'll try to blog more but sometimes I just don't know what to blog about!

 

Much Aloha!

Jul. 6, 2006 - What should you blog about?

Posted by HarmonyArtMom
For those of us who only dream of living/homeschooling in Hawaii, how about posting about things unique to living in the islands? What are the challenges of living on an island? What are the advantages? Do you have access to interesting field trips, museums, events?

I would love to see more photos too. I read your blog and imagine your life but maybe the reality is different. I enjoy your blog and just enjoy the every day things you post about.

Keep up the good work.
