Busy as a bee...
Of which there are still plenty in my garden, I can assure you!
The last few weeks have been more an issue of us all getting back into the swing of things.
On a positive note, I love our new schedule... it is working out rather well. I especially like the Friday schedule .
A quick perusal of the homeschool blogs will reveal a plethora of different schedules, ideas and lists... but this list from Dawn's Middle Ages Study is worth the look.
She also has a great article about an Orb Weaver Spider in her backyard... who says we need to go away from home to study nature?  Certainly not Drew at Running River Latin School... he and his family certainly got an eyeful!
Then again, with the winter coming, perhaps you would prefer to spend some of the bad weather inside reading about nature- 4 Real Learning has the booklist for you!
Perhaps you are a little worried about the new school year? Maureen posted some Seven Habits of Highly Effective New School Years at her blog... and so did some select others! Links can be found in the post.
For a wonderful, comprehensive booklist, you could do worse than visit the 4 Real Pages here with their Read Around the Year booklist.
KathyJo has made some of her very useful planner pages availble to us all, and I know of several peaople who swear by them.
There are some wonderful unit studies out there in the big, wide world, for those times when you want to follow the Rabbit Trails.
Perhaps you'd like to read about Ants? Or perhaps you prefer the birds? Maybe you might like one of these that the Thrifty Homeschooler linked to? The wonderful people at the 4 Real Forums have posted several unit studies too, just another of the benefits of being a member there!
Hope you enjoy!
