What needs to be done

By
I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now. School starts in just over a month, and I have much preparation to do!
  • Finish American History curriculum (3/4 way done)
  • Make IEW notebook
  • Make reading genre requirements list and reading notebook
  • Finalize Apologia Biology schedule
  • Make art notebooks
  • Plan Brynne's first science unit
Yikes! I need about a week somewhere alone with my computer, the internet and my printer, with tons of notebooking supplies. Since I won't be getting that, I just need to get diligent in setting aside time to get these things done.

Anyone else feeling the pressure of a looming starting date?

UPDATE: As of August 11th, I have now completed the crossed-out items! I feel so much better! Almost done!

    Yup, I'm feeling the pain. I'm working on a history curriculum, scheduling out our math, English, and science. And I still need to figure out what we are using for logic! I've found that limiting my time on the computer actually helps me to focus more on what I have to get done!

    As each year passes, I seem to get more relaxed about the whole planning thing. (This is our 8th year homeschooling.) In fact, I still haven't finished ordering our curriculum for next year and I plan on starting in about 6 weeks. I have a "loose" schedule of "things" in my mind, but I don't usually plan in details because it always seems to change (and then I get frustrating with having to re-work everything). Hang in there! It'll all get done!

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 ...
