Round these parts we’ve been frantically baby proofing for the newly mobile six-month-old. There’s never, ever enough hours in a day. We typically take a break from homeschooling in December, but with so many unintentional breaks in November, I thought it’d be best if we just power onward with tons of review. I have every…
Boy have I been a terrible blogger lately or what? Regardless of post frequency, we have been keeping very busy — as a homeschooling family of six is wont to do. Halloween and Disney continued to throw our October routine off, so we’ve adapted school time. I thought I’d give a few snapshots of what…
Rocked the past two weeks like a homeschool ninja.
What happened this week? It’s always a blur; I need to rely on my phone pics, but it’s somewhat challenging to take good photos with a three-month-old. Nevertheless… I persisted in snagging a few. Math We did mostly math on Monday and Tuesday. Everyone did bead chains. Then we were burnt out on math and…
Here’s our weekly wrap up in photos. Oy, I’m still trying to figure out the easiest way to organize this series! Grandma was in town this week for Josie’s 10th (WHOA) birthday. No uniforms worn as I’ve been behind in laundry. 🙂 Language: The girls got their first library cards! They selected some beginner chapter…
Last week we introduced Montessori’s Second Great Lesson: the Coming of Life. The Great Lessons are a series of stories designed to spark the fire of curiosity surrounding science, history, communication, numbers, geography and more. These stories along with key lessons serve as a framework for further explorations throughout the year. Materials With the 2nd…
Second week of homeschooling is in the books. I’m not sure how that happened so fast. We’ve been focusing on our Great Lessons work (we are doing one per week the first five weeks, you can read more about them here). I figure our first five weeks back are kinda a jumpstart and transition period after…
Lots of review this week. We tried some creative reading and handwriting ideas, and for grammar, we used Goldilocks felt pieces to introduce the adverb. But before we get to that… Pencil sharpening is practical life work, but I thought I’d sneak it in our Language post since it deals with writing. I found little…
Sorry this week in review is belated. I have been writing, editing and trying to figure out a better way to format my posts. They’re just too long and take forever to write. I wanted to summarize the week but still provide detail on our activities, so I’ve decided to post a week in review…
The 2018-19 school year is already upon us. How on earth did it happen so fast? Last year’s homeschool evaluation forms have been emailed to the powers that be, and we’ve spent lots of brainpower contemplating how the year ahead will go. Until now, I’ve homeschooled the girls while Michael (5, little bro) got some…
