Ripped from the headlines of our homeschooling days!

2.20.09: Last Day of Break

Our local traditionally schooled counterparts are on a break this week, so we’ve taken a hiatus of sorts as well. Because, as mentioned yesterday, our learning tends to be more life-based, clearly we never truly take a break.

The kids still read books on their own, and went to their Spanish classes, as well as music class. Today is our knitting group for Teens & Tweens held at a local yarn shop.

We go back to “normal” (whatever that is!) next week…

Thursday: 1.8.09

Today was a low energy day. “School” was an unstructured affair (though one of my three “did school” on her own by assigning herself some reading, math, sight words and more Explode the Code). My youngest decided to do quite a bit of artwork, and my oldest built many wonderful inventions with his Legos (and all came from original ideas he came up with!). My oldest then had his first day of Advanced Spanish class with Teacher Wendy. He loved it (he’s had her as a teacher before). He came away with some homework for next week, along with retaining two new words he learned in class today!
