This one I haven't been blogging much on as we really are now after school and summer school at home family and I feel odd blogging here about other things. So I will be sharing some of the things we are doing for education this summer here, while my xanga blog is more about day to day life, and being a stay at home mom. And then my blogspot one is just for my family to cover summer  activites. So on that note what are your educational plans for the Summer ? We are doing a hour of math a day, then we also have a craft once a week , plus we are doing a study on Owls, and Astromony oh and a study on the Greeks. I will list how we are going to be doing those later this week end. I really look forward to learning with the kids during the summer, just right dh feels that our small country school is were the kids belong. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Midge/553187/ Thu, 26 Jun 2008 21:04:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Midge/553187/ I am doing a giveaway on my other blog at www.xanga.com/midge8   http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Midge/428777/ Sat, 17 Nov 2007 08:20:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Midge/428777/ The kids are all doing well in school, and we have had some afterschool schooling activies.
