Monday…we were able to stop by a friends house and they got to experience a rope swing and paddle boats!
It has been still fairly warm here for Sept.
But this lake was a little cooler!
Since Monday was a holiday, I let the two that were home have a lighter day and we caught up later in the week on our Exploration to 1850’s work.
Tuesday was the local homeschool kick off, so we rushed through our work. I was working to finish copies before the workshop as well.
There were a lot of people and tables with information available. Everyone seemed to ready for the year! We had a table for the support group meetings and I taught a workshop (The Technology post, I posted earlier in the week).
One of the books I pulled from my bookshelf to have my son work in. It had some great map exercises. This video went along with our reading for perfectly. We really enjoyed seeing it in pictures! T. working on his math with the whiteboard, blocks and workbook pages.
Making music!
Silly explorers!
We went for a couple of walks for P.E. as well as some trips to the gym, but this one, they were playing by the water waiting for us to catch up to them!
H. doing push-ups in the water!
Got to get that heart rate up! Walking our friend’s puppies might help!
A tired out mom needs a snack, book and a cup of tea after a long week! This book fits the bill!
All in all, we had a great week! I got my high school student squared away with his biology book all loaded onto his iPod, one of his history/literature books also loaded on there. He completed most of his work on his own, with some limited guidance from me, but knowing that he is able to contact me at any time. We still have to work out the schedule!
Thankfully, even though we had some car issues, we were able to get them fixed over the weekend and life is good! On to another week!
