We had a non-structured week. We didn’t do any of our memory work or seat work. We did Field Day on Tuesday. We purchased & planted our garden on Wednesday. We’ve continued our Princess and the Goblin read-aloud. We’ve spent a lot of time outside playing. N-boy read the Hop on Pop board book to…
FOR TODAY May 24, 2010 … Outside my window… it is hot and sunny. Did I mention hot? I am thinking… that I’ve overscheduled this week. I am thankful for… friendly, helpful neighbors.

From the learning rooms… our lessons have been much less organized for the past month, but maybe more profitable….
Monday was OK, Tuesday was awful, Wednesday was pretty good as a direct result of what we learned Tuesday [smile]. Memory Work: Bible: We worked on Genesis 1:12. Catechism/Creed: OK, *now* M-girl & N-boy are ready to move to new sections of Catechism. R-girl is doing well, but I don’t want to move her too…
