Homeschooling Eve

By
School starts tomorrow.

Three of my four children will be venturing back to public school. Kyndal will be a sophomore. She is very excited to get back to school, mostly so she can see her friends on a regular basis. But, she's ready! She's even read most of her first book. Eli and Brynne will be in the first grade and kindergarten, right across the hall from each other. We went today and met their teachers. They weren't wanting to start school until they stepped into it and felt the excitement. Now they can't wait! It's so exciting!

But just as exciting is the first day of school here at home. Dawson and I will be breaking in our new school room and curriculum. I've planned for the first two weeks only, to see how our timing will work out.

He seems to be very at ease today. In years past he has always been so keyed up about the first day of school. He hasn't said it, but I think he is relieved he isn't going to the public school tomorrow. I know I am relieved.

I am excited about tomorrow ... and scared. But, I'm mostly excited!

I've got everything ready for us.

    Enjoy the journey, I homeschooled my oldest daughter for primary school and it made such a difference in both our lives.
    I admit I spent more than my fair share of time doing midnight google searches- who ever knew there was such a thing as a "personal possessive pronoun"- nope not me!!

    How exciting! Even if Dawson doesn't say it yet, you have shown him you will do what it takes to help him and how much you care. You will do great!

We all know that in this crazy world of homeschooling, we need all the (adult) support we can get. Please leave a comment if you so wish!

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

By
Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

A New Year, the Same Me

By
Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...

Science Sunday ~ Hmmm ... Let Me Think About It!

By
This week in our study of the Human Body , Brynne moved on to the Nervous System . Our first stop was a Pamela Hill Nettleton book called, Think, Think, Think: Learning About Your Brain . As part of our discussions about the brain , and the fact that it's the BOSS of the body, we discussed the importance of the spinal cord . We did a hands on spinal cord project by alternating gummy Life Savers and wagon wheel pasta on a pipe cleaner. We talked about why there was the "squishy" stuff in between the vertebra and how the back can bend and sway because of it. We completed "The Brynne" by adding the stomach, small intestine and large intestine, from our study last week of the Digestive System (although I just realized I have the large intestine coming out of the stomach, when the small intestine should be) and the brain and spinal cord. We are now done talking about the parts of the body and will conclude our study of the Human Body with a two-day unit ...
