In the Works

By
Wow. This school year is all but over! I can't believe it!

Between now and the end of the school year, we will be doing the following:


Dawson ~ 8th Grade
  • Exploration Period, focusing on Swiss Family Robinson (for 17 days of school)
  • Renaissance and Restoration periods, until the last day of school, with an end-of-school trip to The Renaissance Festival.
  • Lots of pre-algebra, language arts reviews, typing, spanish and science units going along with the above-units.

Brynne ~ 1st Grade
  • Our last week of For the Birds, with focus book The Perfect Nest.
  • Three week of Easter studies.
  • Since Earth Day falls the Friday before Easter, we will study Earth Day the last week of April with some really fun books and activities. We will spend April 30th making May Baskets to deliver to Brynne's friends, in cognito, on May 1st.
  • The Month of May ~ a study on the Milly-Molly-Mandy series.
  • We will be doing a couple of weeks of study on both Time and Money and will also be focusing on addition math facts.
And then we will be on Summer break. Our last day of school is Thursday, May 26th. And of course I'm already thinking about next year.

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...

Each week, I receive an email from Rachel DeMille that sets out each date of the coming week. Under the date, there are listed anywhere from one to several events that occurred in history on that date. THEN there are ALL kinds of things to do related to that event, such as books to read, websites to visit, ac...
