Our assignement this week is to post what our planned homeschool routine is. Then we are supposed to share our prayers for this school year.
This is our second year of homeschooling and we are still working all of this out so I am not too sure about all this. Here goes...."Our Schedule"
6:00 am-Moma gets up and gets Daddy off to work
8:00 am-Stephen gets up and we do breakfast together
8:45-9:15 am -Word Building
9:15-10:30 am- English
10:30 -11:00 am-We get Nanny her meds, get her fed and cleaned up
11:00 -12:00-Social Studies
12:00-1:00 pm-Lunch
1:00-2:00 pm-Science
2:00-3:00 pm we work on Projects, PE or something like that or reading
Free time til Daddy gets home
4:00-6:00pm- chore and Home Ec time
Now I know you noticed there is no time for bible and I am ashamed but this is something we need to work on but first we have to get our mornings going better. I have not been feeling well but my leg is almost well and hopefully I will sleep better and we will get up earlier and get our devotions and bible time done. Our prayer would be that we first get better at having God time and also that this year will go better than last year.
God bless and looking forward to learning from you other veteran homeschooling Moms,
Memory Verse: Ephesians 4:19 KJV Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Assignment: Take time this week to write about YOU and your feelings of trials and triumphs with homeschooling. Touch on when you first heard about the concept of home schooling and whether you tip-toed into the idea or just jumped in and never looked back. Share your schooling as a child and how you compare it to what your goals are for your children.
This is our second year of homeschooling. Last year we pulled Stephen out of public school because he was going to Jr.high and I didn't like the way they did things, lots of stuff that was just no way. So we decided we had to do something. I talked to the administrator over our Christian school and he said we could do paces as homebound plus add what we wanted to so we tried it. We didn't do too well as I had no support and didn't know what I was doing. This year is off to a much better start. I went to public school as did my older two. For me I went to a tiny country school and times were different. My older two I thought did okay but they have since came back and told me things that make me set and cry. I know we will never go back to public school, for us it just doesn't work.
Our verse is Proverbs 22:6 and the name of our homeschool is Proverbs 22:6 Homeschool. I haven't got any pictures to share yet but I will put some up as soon as I get them done...hopefully before the next assignment..

Outside my Window...The sun is shining and the breeze is gently blowing

I am thankful for...getting to homeschool my son and I have won 2 contests I entered recently
From the kitchen...the sound of silence-not sure what I am cooking yet
I am wearing...pjs
I am reading...We got new Baptist bread at church yesterday and I am reading it as my morning devotions and reading the suggested verses that go with it. Need to pick a few new books to read.
I am hoping...to get caught up on my house and stuff that needs mailing this week.
I am creating...Tea Cozy bookmarks for my group over at The Homeschool Lounge and stuff for tea swaps and Letter writing friends swaps.
I am hearing...the Tv my hubby is watching and my moms radio
Around the house...the quiet cries of clean me, clean me please
One of my favorite things...is spending time with my family.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...lesson plans for school and church, crafts and letters that need to be done and daily trips to the doctor-sorry this week is the same but this is my world right now.
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...
This is my daughter and my grandson. He misses her since she left for college and everytime his Momas phone rings he thinks it is daddy or Manna. It is so cute.
Our Verse is also our school name-Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go....We do ACE paces and supplement with other Home Ec. science, reading, bible, computer skills, volunteering and will be adding karate for PE in a couple of weeks. This is our second year of homeschooling. The first year was hard but we are doing better this year. It is the best decision we ever made.

My heart breaks for his parents and two older brothers.Please remember this family in your prayers not just now in the days, weeks and months to come.
Near this timelast year,
we had Fall Back Into HomeSchool Giveaway.
That time has come around, again,
as most are preparing to
begin/continue their homeschool journey.
In addition, we are anticipating the arrival of fall.
I just LOVE that time of year!
Cool... cozy... crunchy... autumn! Ah!
I think this giveaway is tending to have
more of an autumn theme than a homeschooling one,
but I thought it would be fun anyway. ;o)
You will see a pattern in these bundles,
as all of them involve tea.
I recently came acrossScripture Tea,
an online company that carries tea bags (& etc...)
that have King James Scripture tags on them!
I just loved this idea!
I ordered a box or two and they, also,
added a few freebies to contribute to our giveaway!
We're giving away three bundles!
Go check out which one you would like to win....Pat

Aug. 24, 2008 - Homeschool Memoirs-All about you #1
I am Pat married to Billy for 22 years this month. We have 2 older children; Our oldest son is married with one little boy and a little girl due in October, then our daughter is a junior in bible collge and courting a nice young man. They both went to public school all their lives. Our youngest is in his second year of homeschooling under the umbrella of our churches christian school. He is 7th-8th grade. I only wish I had done it sooner. I also care for my bedbound Mom and am Childrens Ministries leader in our church and over the Moms group. We do ACE paces and supplement with other classes too. I hope to learn about other homeschooling Moms through this meme. God bless, Pat
I may not be posting much for a few days. I had minor out patient surgery on my leg on Monday and I have to go back and have it packed daily and stay off of it as much as I can, it is pretty painful so please pray if I cross your mind and I will be back blogging about our world soon.
This is my place to share as I learn to be the Wife and Mom that God wants me to be. I am striving to be a Proverbs 31 wife, a homeschooling Mom that is training my children and grandson in the way God would have them to go. Also a place to share the joys and trials of caring for my Mom now that she can no longer care for herself.
