October 6, 2010

Doing great here!
I think we found our schedule:)
It's really a hit and miss, kind of the way we work! LOL..

Mondays, since I work the night before, I leave it up to them.  They can do their binder work if they like, just remember, if they get too far behind, there will be summer work.  Or, they can do it later in the week.  That concept is doing good so far!!

Tuesday we do the full day!  Rosetta/spelling city (the kids are enjoying this, and mid week last week Rachel went from 42 spelling words to 14, Gracie went from 23 to 2!  So they are learning:)  Also do the oral math/First Language Lessons/Binder work (but they still decide how much they need to do)

Wednesday is movie day.  We watch educational shows and catch up on those penpals.  They still do their spelling city/Rosetta, though.  It's all oral, and they enjoy that. I will leave the written portion up to them.  So far, they haven't been too interested in that.  But to understand a language is the key, so they're getting this!:)

Thursday is another full day.

Friday is 'Baking Day'  I found these great books-
The Best of Cooking with 3 Ingredients
They have several versions, low sugar/low cholesterol/meals/appetizers...so I told them to pick a recipe each week and we'd give it a try.  This is a fun way to learn math!!

So what are we doing now? Absolutely Nothing! ;)
No, actually we're getting ready to move next week.  I know...that is 'next week', but there are boxes EVERYWHERE and we can barely get on the couch. So, cancel school out;)

I will start recording more as we move in.  Post the spelling words and such.
Happy Homeschooling!
