Where In The World?

Where in the world have I been these last few weeks?  Sitting right here at the computer typing and typing.  My data entry job has reached it's peak time and I have been swamped.

But we have been plugging along with our school work.

Here are some of the highlights of the last few weeks:

History:
  • The great Dynasties of China, Korea and Japan
  • The Kingdom of the Franks
  • The Islamic Invasion
  • Charlemagne
  • We are reading A Door in the Wall and Whipping Boy, stories of boys who lived in medieval times.
Geography - Maps:
  • Comparing Scale
  • Finding routes and distance
  • Lattitude and Longitude
Literature
  • Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
  • Mr. Popper's Penquins
Foreign Language:
  • We had our first meeting of our Latin and Spanish Clubs.
Science:
  • We are finishing up our Oceanography study next week then it is on to Landforms and Earth Science
Field Trips:
  • Shakespeare Tavern to see Comedy of Errors - the boys really enjoyed it and Zachary was able to follow the story with no problem.  He asked when we can go to another play.
  • Carlton Dairy and Farm

I can't imagine how hard that might be, so I just wanted to tell you that I admire you for working so hard and for homeschooling when it'd be easier just to work. ((((HUG))))

Glad to hear that others have a hard time keeping up with blog posts and managing homeschooling as well! I haven't blogged for two months and have been feeling so guilty! Sounds like you have been doing some very interesting studies! We loved Mr. Popper's Penguins!

Blessings,
