OK, the second week of a late review. But, better late than never. Speaking of late, our school days are going all kinds of late. I don’t think I’m over-assigning, kids are just not gettin’ er done. Dawdling, playing, fighting, it’s getting ugly and I need to put on my big girl panties and be…
Two weeks late, but I really do want to keep a record. I’ll write last week’s in a separate post. So the week of August 8-12, R-girl and I did most of the things the other children and I had done the week before. M-girl and N-boy had their “Old Enough Others Outing” with Grammy and Grampa….
This was an unusual week. R-girl was scheduled to spend her “Nifty Nine” time with Grammy and Grampa starting Saturday and coming home on Wednesday. In the past, we would not have done formal, academic lessons. But because we scheduled the “Old Enough Others Outing” for M-girl and N-boy starting today through Wednesday, so R-girl…
We had a good week of school this week, but that’s likely because it was rather light as the school work goes. We’ve now finished Week 8 of AmblesideOnline Year 5. This week was the second of two weeks of swim lessons for the children. M-girl and N-boy both finished the “Fish” level and R-girl…
It’s been a while since I’ve written about Our Weekly Amble. While it’s one of my favorite posts to write, sometimes when I get to the weekend things are moving too fast and I’m too tired to get it written. We had a good week this week. Back to Circle Time – which I’ve decided…
So today, I debate. Is this Weekly Amble a review of this week? Is this Weekly Amble a review of this term? Is this Weekly Amble a celebration of our first year with AmblesideOnline? Because we did it! We finished Year 4. How thankful I am for all we were able to accomplish this year….
Despite a bout of strep throat for one child, we had a really good week of school. We do 9 of 10 days in a two-week rotation, with every other Friday off formal lessons. Friday was our off day … I have Bible Study and the children have other opportunities to play and learn with…
Despite N-boy’s sickness, we had a pretty good week. I think there are several reasons for this. The first is that for my personal weekly goals I included “Play two games with each child this week. They can overlap.” Because I put it on my week’s to-do list, I gave myself permission to play games….
This was the best week of formal school we’ve had since … September? Just reminder to me to remind my readers that homeschooling is hard work. I was talking with two friends last night and they said oftentimes bloggers only post the good things, the true things, the beautiful things and that can be discouraging…
A New Year should mean a new graphic, right? I loved the green in last year’s, but I think I’ll enjoy the blues for this year. Anyway, on with the show. We had a really good week of school. We accomplished quite a lot in our four days of formal lessons and enjoyed Friday fun….
