Sarah will also be going through the Elementary Life Of Fred series over the summer to help fill in some gaps we're having with Math. It's a very light and humorous program that she is already enjoying.
Family Classes:
Matthew's school items :)
Thought we better get Matthew a few new things to package up for the first day of school too! I'm also going to get a couple of toys for a school bin that only come out at school time. Trying to teach with a toddler is going to take some creativity!
:)
Our baby is due to arrive in the next couple of weeks so there's a lot of excitement in our house!
We are going to enjoy a "year end party" on July 9th and then we'll start up our new year on/around August 22nd.
Right now the kids are pretty much done school, but we do move into a "summer school" schedule. It usually only takes them about an hour or so to complete and most days I don't hear any complaining about it :)
Welcome Summer!
Excellent!
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have dotted all your i's and crossed all your t's.
We've been doing the school bins with A, which for the most part helps our school time.
You've got me all excited now, love the photos.
I'm so visual and because of your photos, I just realized that I could be grouping books by child on the floor, instead of making lists... haha... when I organize/plan our year. That would help me significantly. Thanks!
