School time...

Okay, so it's been school time all summer - we never really stopped school.  But my kids are doing so well this year, it's always good to report how they are doing.  Asher is doing a 6th grade math book now.  4th grade reading and grammar.  We are doing a unit on elections and the electoral college system for social studies, but will begin NC history after the elections in November.   Josh is doing some science with him in the little science lab they have set up in the basement.  

Evie is reading fairly fluently now and even reads on her own before bed time.  She's in a second grade math book.  I need to incorporate some more science and social studies in for her.  But I will probably have her do NC history with Asher.  We are going to make an NC Notebook like the one I made in PS.  I loved that project even if my final grade was severely marked down due to my poor handwriting and coloring skills...  

Isaac is learning to count and knows the letter 'O' very well.  He is also a pro-drummer on Rock Band.

Asher and Evie are also taking theatre again this year.  Evie is also taking dance.  Asher is taking Tae Kwon Do.  

This year is so busy that I barely have time to think.  Oz now has two teeth!  He and Isaac both kind of hinder our school time on some days, but we manage to get in the stuff we need to do.  I plan on really taking my time with Asher's math because his next book we will begin pre-algebra and I really want him fully understand everything before we move on.

Hi again! Stopped by and thought of leaving you a note. I really admire mums who homeschool. Wish I had that option, but where I live homeschooling is not practiced.

Keep up the good work.

I just noticed that you're my age and you're capricorn. Maybe we were born on the same day!

Hello, I am a sahm and like my dear friend Isabel (sugarmama) I trully admire mums who homeschool. I wish it was possible here to do it but in my country homeschooling is not an option and for some even never heard of.
