It seems I'm getting away from blogging daily again, thankfully today was Mug Up which keeps me "anchored" (in more ways than one). It's such a joy to be able to discuss our year, our kids, our styles with other like minded people. No we don't all homeschool the same way which is what is great! We can discuss what works (and doesn't) for us and still get so much from others about things we might want to try for next year. Anyways here is what we are up to. Monday the whole "team" pulled together and did a yard clean up - eeeewwwwww!! We still have a ways to go but a lot gone done, maybe some more on the weekend? Tuesday - Tea Time -- another "anchor". We had been "neglecting" bookwork so it was nice to gather around the table again and read some of the books we just got from the library. I also had Josh do a placement test for a new Math program I'm looking at for next year called Teaching Textbooks http://www.teachingtextbooks.com/ Apparently it's being called the "Math Without The Tears" on some homeschooling lists. This will be a big program for Josh but so were the other two I was looking at as well for next year. I need something that lends itself towards more independence for Josh and he did ask for more computer school next year so this qualifies. Also I think it will help in some organizational skills on his part. Anyways a friend is going to buy the program so I'll look at it again when she gets it and then make a final decision. September is a long way off right? Our facilitator visit is tommorow - haven't really prepared much for that, that is the wonderful thing about having a blog, I just looked back through the entries and typed up a one page summary of what we've been doing. Of course we'll have our usual assortment of books on the tables and Josh will share whatever is on his heart and of course Noah will play host, ha ha. Friday we are having our groups "game day" everyone is bringing their favorite games to play, to discuss to whatever. Should be a good time and I'm hoping to find a few more to add to our selection. I find with all the electronic distractions board games are getting squeezed out, also Josh is older and his interests have changed and I haven't really gotten any new board games for a while. The weekend is suppose to be beautiful again so I'm hoping to get the dining room/homeschool areas spring cleaned.....maybe even the kitchen. Of course some spinning is in order as well....REALLY enjoying that!!! Well that's about it from me. I am slowly beginning to work on some plans for next year but very slowly. I'll try and do more "homeschooling" blog posts in the next little while as I wrap up the year. Stay tuned my friends. |
