Almost Done....

Posted in School Dayz

Well our school year is almost over...YAAAAAA!!! I have learned SO much this year about myself and my children. God has ministered to me about how to teach them, so our next school year will have some changes and I think things will be waaay more relaxed for us. I am actually looking forward to a God-led school year (as long as I am listening) *wink*.
We are going to do math through out the summer months in hopes of focusing more on other studies when we officially start school again in September. On the flip side, doing it this way will ensure concentration on math . I am definitely sticking with Math U See! My son loves it. I did tell him that we are still in the "easy" stuff. I had to start him all the way from the beginning foundations of math. His teachers (in pubic school) passed him to the next grades, but he didn't learn anything *angry smilie*. At least he is enjoying it with the blocks.
We have a unit study planned for Italy, but then we found out that Her Interactive is making a new Nancy Drew game based in Venice, Italy. Since Nancy Drew games always involve problem solving, history, culture, etc. this will be a great way to learn stuff about Italy without the boringness of a complete unit study. After we play the game we are going to have an Italy week of food and music and whatever else the kids come up with.

Everyone is looking forward to a long break...especially ME!

Hugs and Kisses

We love MUS too!!! It has been a life-saver for Rachel who also had troubles in math while in PS. Now, she has more confidence and is truly learning the concepts. Sarah loves it too, even as a speedy learner. Oh, and I especially love your phrase "God-led" teaching styles. :-) Isn't that the only thing that really matters?

Sounds great to me! I hope you enjoy this plan as it's worked out. We are yet to get a plan for the summer.

It sounds like you're all set! I'm so glad you've found a math program that works for you and that you aren't feeling as discouraged anymore. We used Saxon Math our first year and hated it! Now that we use Singapore instead, math is one of the kids' favorite subjects. It's all about figuring out what you & your kids like and working with it!
Yeah you!

Yeah,
I know what you mean. We had 2 weeks left and dh and i discussed it and called school. We are going to S.C. in June for vacation and we are doing so many educational thing plus we did International towne. You should so do that with your kids they would love it.
My son uses Saxon Math. I looked at Math u see. How do you like it when it comes to fractions? I am frustrated in that department and need somthing that will stick with my middle one. I like the idea of a strong foundation using manipulatives. I think it sticks better. If you could give me a review I'd love to hear it.
Italy sounds wonderful, can I borrow you plans??? Be sure to post plenty of pics.
