Is it really May already? I must be getting old, talking about how quick the time goes 😉 But things have been moving at warp speed around here. I never found the time to post a wrap-up of last week, so I’ll make this a 2 week summary. We got started back on Tapestry of …
This week we did one of my oldest son’s favorite things—standardized testing. I am not kidding. As far as "school" things goes, he would rather test than do anything else. My daughter, on the other hand, had her first experience with "bubble tests" last year, and she spent a portion of the time crying. Needless …
I don’t have a lot of school to report this week, because we took the week off! But, I didn’t take the week off. My goal was to catch up on my planning so that we can finish the year strong. I didn’t accomplish everything I set out to do, but I will be starting …
We had a good week, but I seem to have caught a bit of spring fever and summer-itis. We managed to do our core subjects this week, but failed to do any Tapestry of Grace or Apologia science. (I mean none!) I am taking next week off for a little break. During the time, I …
I haven’t written a Weekly Wrap-up post for a while for a combination of reasons. First, we haven’t done anything really exciting to write about, and second, I’ve been pretty busy on the last few Fridays and Saturdays. So, even though we haven’t done anything super interesting, I’ll just update everything for my own benefit. …
Winter. That’s how I sum up the last couple of weeks. We got 8 inches of snow last weekend. Then it snowed again this Friday. Thankfully, we are missing out on the big snowstorm that’s hitting the northeast currently. All this snow affected our schooling because we don’t get snow that often, and the kids …
We had another good week of schooling. We didn’t start quite as early as I had planned, but we still did all start together. I’m thinking of tweaking our start time a little so my oldest, who is a night person, can get a little more sleep. I’m still undecided on that, so I will …
What a great first week back to school! Over the break I had some time to think about why we weren’t getting as much done as we should be. I instituted (or re-instituted) some practices that had worked in the past. I realized that I’ve allowed myself to be influenced by how other people homeschool. …
I had just written up a fairly lengthy post when I hit the wrong button. It is kind of fitting with the way the rest of my day has been going. So rather than rewrite it; here is the last week and a half in pictures. The Thanksgiving table before the feast. We went on …
What a week this has been. Certainly far from typical. Monday was my birthday, so we took off school and I went to a day spa. Well, not quite. We had a somewhat typical school day except that during the day I made myself a coconut cake and helped my children finish preparing for their …
