It must be Spring. How many activities can we involve ourselves in until we pass out? That's the theme of every Spring, it seems. Oh yes, there's also that little thing we are doing during the day: HomeSchooling!!!! Wow. I was NOT prepared for how much work this would be. Here is a summary of 2006 up to now.
January: Classifying Animals, The Food Chain, A Rhinoceros Report, Capitalization Rules, US Map skills, Subtraction Review, Martin Luther King, Luke's birthday skating party, Upwards Basketball and we began taking Piano Lessons!
February: Dinosaurs & why they're extinct, US Symbols, George Washington and the Revolutionary War, Aesop's Fables, Mommy/Son & Daddy/Daughter Dates, Money and Decimal Addition, Possessive Nouns & Pronouns, Spanish DVD (and practice with our friend, Juan!), and LOVE scriptures!
March: Spring Break Garage Sale Fun with Memaw & Visit to Grama & Pappy's house, Dallas Symphony Field Trip with Daddy, Dinosaur Museum with Mommy, Math is getting harder, but he actually likes it now.....yea!, Verb Tenses, Health & the Human Body, Pioneers, Abe Lincoln and the Civil War!
Whew! There are things I didn't cover, but of course we read A LOT!!! We're reading E.B. White's Classics, like "Stuart Little" now and "Charlotte's Web" later. We read "Little House" last fall, and other fun books from the library, too! OH yes, spontaneous socialization is keeping us quite busy with all the friends who want to play.....NOT that you're asking! :)
Next Fall, we're joining a Co-Op of Moms who teach every Monday and Luke will get to pick 5 classes and Grace will be in Kindergarten in the morning and choose 2 in the afternoon! Looking forward to it!
