Week 23: Egypt is on Fire

As I watch the turmoil in Egypt, I am acutely aware of the history being made right in front of our eyes.  I want the boys to understand it as well, but it seems we can only focus on the damage being done to history within the museums of Egypt.  We have been studying the [...]

December 2010: Finishing the Semester With Success!

Wow.  The month of December just flew by, didn’t it?  As you can see, I failed on keeping up to date on a weekly basis. We did so many things this month: Field trip to the Imaginarium Ty brought his Reading grade up from a B to an A Both boys finished up their Heritage [...]

Week 5: Invasion of the Lego Mini Figures

Monday: It wasn’t a great start to our week.  First, Cam woke up and wasn’t feeling well.  He did feel well enough to do school, but he was a bit ‘off’ today.  I did give him the choice of staying in bed or doing his lessons…he chose school. As we started our day, I noticed [...]

Week 2: Snack Mix, Ancient Egyptians, and Tests!

Saturday: The boys started their new season of hockey.  Today was just evaluations and practice.  They won’t find out which team they’re on for another week. Since the boys have hockey during the Lowe’s Children’s Workshop on Saturdays, they weren’t able to participate.  However, the nice guy at Lowes gave us a kit to take [...]

Week 35: The Finish Line Is Almost Within Reach

Week 28: Eating Our (Spelling) Words

I realized this week that we are entering the last quarter of our first year of homeschooling!  I can not believe that I made it this far.  I love homeschooling far more than I ever thought I would. Ok, so what did we do this week?  I’m glad you asked.    Before I jump into [...]

Week 21: 100 Days of School!

As of Friday, January 22nd, we have officially completed 100 days of school!  I can’t believe that we are almost done with our first year of homeschooling.  What an adventure this has turned out to be. On Monday, we had our cousin, Kendall, spend the day with us.  Kendall will be going into Kindergarten in [...]

Week 11: Costumes, Pumpkins & Candy, Oh My!

The boys have been really ramped up this week.  They’ve been counting the days until Halloween.  We went to Party City to pick out costumes on Wednesday.  What was supposed to only take an house at most, ended up taking us ALL morning and part of the afternoon.  We drove over THE BRIDGE to Party [...]
