Good thing as we've been passing around a nasty stomach bug! :-<br /><br />We do a workshop approach to homeschool. We do reading workshop in which the kiddos read a book at their level and do a reading response. We do Math U See combined with mathematics investigations during our math workshop time. Then it's time for our daily journal writing and word work. The afternoon is finished off with project time. This includes sharing what is learned through the creative arts. Our theme studies are incorporated throughout the day. <br /><br />And of course there is breakfast, laundry, dirty dishes . . . the kiddos help with these also. <br /><br />Stopping in from HHH.jeannine: waddlee-ah-chaahttp://www.waddleeahchaa.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012421380817438043.post-30375162609620167782011-08-08T13:08:23.102-05:002011-08-08T13:08:23.102-05:00It sounds like you had a great week!

All those distractions and interruptions used to aggravate me, but now I realize they're all part of the learning experience that is homeschooling.<br /><br />We started math, reading, and language arts last week. We're still taking off on Tuesdays to finish out the Summer Movie Clubhouse (CHEAP movies) series we began in June.<br /><br />I'm hoping to get everything together this week so that next week we can begin Adventures in My Father's World, which will get us up to a full schedule (science and social studies added in!). Over the next several weeks, we'll add AWANA and dance classes, so we'll really be hopping by mid-September.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your week. You inspire me! :)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09753243672020586192noreply@blogger.com
