Educating Emme

• Mar. 8, 2006 - Just stuff

I made a more customized plan for our spring curriculum.  Mondays and Tuesdays being the most focused days; the rest of the week being more relaxed in atmosphere.

 

I'm still following half CM/Amblesideonline.org and half eclectic mishmash classical basics.  (I see how much sense that must make to everyone!)

 

Wednesdays we have dance class and praise night at church.  Thursdays is Brownies and Friday is a new HS gym class.  Those are the days we are heavy with activity outside of the house.

 

I wish I would have known about Amblesideonline.org in September or even August.  Right now I'm trying to incorporate a Year 0 approach.  A lot of moms start that pre-kindergarten.  I feel behind.  I know that is just plain silly because one of the reasons that you homeschool is to NOT feel behind!

 

I am trying to think of something special to do on Monday in honor of Missey's passing.  If it's nice enough, I think we'll go to a park, have a picnic, and play. 

 

Time to take dh to work.  Have a blessed day,

 

Sherry

Thanks for stopping by my blog... so glad you'll be joining us on March 13th in honor of Missey. I'll be doing a follow post to find out how everyone's day went, so be sure to stop back on Tuesday.

I plan on bringing out the clay and sculpting the whole week with the kids! It's something I LOVE to do and would love to have my children know that about me.

Blessings to you and yours,
Amy

You know, in the homeschooling realm, I don't think much surpasses the terrible feeling of being behind. We all get there, some of us frequently, and I am slowly being convinced that it is just a huge ploy of the enemy to get us to quit. Not that you were at *that* point~lol! Hang in there, Sherry! I have heard lots of great stuff about Ambleside, I need to check it out soon.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. How did you get that cute sparkly butterfly?
I'm planning on taking the kids to the park on Monday in remembrance of Missey.
They really like to go but I usually say "Let's go in the backyard". I want to surprise them ;)
Blessings, Cheryl
