The Start of 2007 Homeschooling Year

Well,

It has been a while since I have felt like blogging. I guess getting into the year so far has been pretty time consuming. I haven't changed much from last year, but was trying to tie up loose ends. We started back on the 15th of January which suits us very well actually. It is enough time off to catch our breath and then time to work our way back into it just as everyone else is going back :).  We will take a break at the end of Feb when we go to homeschooling camp and then take the week off afterwards. I, of course, am really looking forward to it. A week at the beach yay!!.

The 1st few weeks have been very productive though especially the 1st week or so. Every day something was happening which made me think o.k. we have progressed since last year. Someone said to me once that they need time to process things and it is so true. I was was worried at the end of 2006 that Joshua was not writing enough...The 1st week of this school I found a piece of paper which he had typed printed and handed out to his siblings. It was a National Anthem to his imaginary country called Natureland.

By Joshua (starting Grade 3)

Ya ye ta to us and we are like a stone of life and we love our God.

Let's forget bad things and let's Remember good things. We Have big hearts and souls we love our God.

Let's make a strong nation and A good place.

Let's be fair and good to others.

Let's make good things.

Let's make ships,planes and trains.

This is every ones nation.

Nature land

Ya ye ta

I am just so proud that he wrote this from his own heart. It shows he is listening and learning from us is so many ways. He is in fact very proud I wanted to put this here.

Samuel and Sierra are working hard at their reading and doing so well. I just can't present phonics to them fast enough.

I have finally started to use copywork in an everyday way and I am so glad. It works out well for them all.

I am struggling however to add Latin, Art, and Music in a scheduled way. I do have the intention.. That is the joy  of this you can add one thing at a time.

Hubby and I are feeling better spiritually and are going to activly seek a new church soon. I am praying for it to be sooner rather than later. Our homeschooling friends have sustained us though thank goodness for fellowship

Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm glad to "meet" you and will add you to my friends. It is quite something to marry someone from another country isn't it?! Do you get to visit the USA very often? I am really wishing to come to Australia but won't be able to for a while. It takes a little time to save up that kind of money.
I am from the Sydney area but did go to Melbourne once....for my 21st birthday. It seems like a fun place to live.
Hope you have a great week.
Stacy
