The Future of Weekly Wrap-up

By
I mentioned in my last post that I plan to participate in Kris' Weekly Wrap-up each week.

The problem, though, is that I typically blog several times a week as things are happening.

I have thought about how mundane it will be to wrap up a week I've already posted about in detail.

So, I've decided that my Weekly Wrap-up will be entitled "Weekly Wrap-up: Dawson Says" and I will have him blog about our week from his perspective.

What do you think?

We won't be starting school until August 18th, when my other children start public school. Our wrap-ups will begin on August 20th.

Between now and then we may have some other posts, though, because we are still getting our school room together and we are slowly working on reading and watching videos about Pearl Harbor.

    Thanks for the comment on my blog! :) Welcome to homeschooling, you're going to have a wonderful time! :) (Though my kids are younger and we are just starting more "formal" schooling, I was homeschooled so I can say that! Hehe!)

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! I am excited for you stepping into homeschooling. I think getting an older student perspective is an excellent idea. Have fun!

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...

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 ...
