By KristinN, on January 31st, 2014 So this week I have decided to get my little boy back into copy work. We have not done that for a while.

What a wonderful week this week has been. Now as you may have guessed since there was not a post last week we decided to take the entire week off from school, sleep in and just relax. Why? Well, this week was a big bang into the school year. Not only did we start

By KristinN, on August 23rd, 2013 Well, this week we added in to our schedule, English. I decided to hold back on teaching formal English to my kids (Charlotte Mason style) until they were a bit older and the concepts could stick better. It has worked very well for my son and is working for my daughter too. My daughter is

By KristinN, on August 19th, 2013 Well, as I had posted last week, this past week we decided to add into our summer schedule some history. This is a great way of entering into the new school year without it feeling like we went form 0 to 80 in 10 seconds flat. I feel like we are gradually accelerating into the

By KristinN, on March 10th, 2013 Well, we do not have a ton of picture this week, but even so we still had a great week.
Last week if you will recall, we placed 2 carrots in water. One was colored water and the other was just plain water. The idea was to see how this root vegetable sucks up the

By KristinN, on March 1st, 2013 This week was a short week for us., We took off Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday due to my son's 11th birthday and my husbands birthday. We had a great time on Monday. We went to Chuck E Cheese during the day. I remember when my son was very young we would do that and it

By KristinN, on February 24th, 2013 What a week. All week long I just did not get enough sleep. Have you ever had one of those weeks. Yea, this week was mine! When I get depressed or really tired or sick (not throwing up sick), I eat. Yea, I am one of those emotional eaters. I have been eating like a

By KristinN, on February 19th, 2013 A much better week this week. Last week was not bad, but it felt like I was not organized and put together. Everyday was just another day. You know what I mean? But this week we had a great time.
First off is our Piano class both kids really did well. They both practices more

By KristinN, on February 15th, 2013 Very interesting week we had. First off I am posting this post a week late. I totally realized today that I am a week behind in my posting and I do not know how I did that. Oh well, such is life! The fact that I get it posted is much more important then when.

By KristinN, on November 24th, 2012 Well, another short week this week, but at least not due to illness. We are taking half of this week off and a couple days next week for Thanksgiving. Speaking of, how was your Thanksgiving? Ours was perfecto. Being a vegetarian, and a new one at that (9 months), I was wondering how this was

By KristinN, on November 17th, 2012 This was not the best of weeks. Both the kids were sick. But we did manage to get a few things done this week. We finished up learning about the New Kingdom of Egypt and spent some time reading abut King Tut and a few others from that time period. We also found some great

By KristinN, on October 13th, 2012 You know, there are so many stories about Joseph in the Bible. I think our favorite has been, this week, the story of how Joseph was favored then he is sold into Slavery (by his family), becomes famous (so to speak) then is humbled and drawn back down into despair and then raised once again

By KristinN, on October 8th, 2012 Sorry, I got really busy over the weekend last week and just did not get to posting my week in review. Anyhow, we had a lovely week. We read about Esau and the deception that went down for stealing the blessing away. I think this is a very sad story and not a great father

By KristinN, on May 25th, 2012 OMGosh! There is only 4 weeks left of school. I am not sure if I am happy or sad. I love teaching the kids so much, but I am ready for a little break.
Well, anyway, this week was a good week. We got all our stuff done plus we had time to do a

By KristinN, on May 18th, 2012 Well week 29 is over and we start if all off with our continued reading about the Wright Brothers. They really were very interesting people. Both the kids and myself have really enjoyed learning about all their activities and how they were so happy inventing things.
Our geography lesson this week was to learn about

By KristinN, on March 16th, 2012 Boy this week went fast. It seemed like I woke up and it was Friday. This week seemed that it was an easier week for school. Hmmm, well, easier may not be the right word. More like a simple than normal week. Our week started with learning more information about John Audubon. Most of

By KristinN, on March 10th, 2012 OK, you all know what my first words are going to be. This was a great week as usual. We started off learning about our 7th President, Andrew Jackson. So one of the things I did was to do flash cards for the first 5 Presidents. I happen to have had these for some years

By KristinN, on February 24th, 2012 OK, OK, here are those famous words once again. We had a great week. Actually it was short. I actually combined Friday's material to Thursday so I could have Friday off. You see my son's is turning 10 tomorrow (2-25) and I wanted to have Friday to get everything ready for his little party at

By KristinN, on February 10th, 2012 So I say it every week, another good week. I think it is about time to come up with a new opening line to my HOD updates. But it really is true. This week was not only good in school, but my voice is back so I was able to sing while I was teaching

By KristinN, on February 9th, 2012 So I realized there are many homeschoolers who have not heard of Homeschool Buyers Co-op.
