We are commencing our fourth year of homeschooling! Following our latest furlough I have found myself with renewed fortitude, a sunnier perspective and yet another blog change. Yes, once again I have made the decision to switch blogs. Hopefully I will be more consistent this year about updating our happenings as it can be great fun to reminisce with later on!
This week we are decluttering the pertinent areas of the house and organizing our books. Quinn is very happy to be doing the Middle Ages this year as we have spent two years on the ancients. This was to our benefit as I was able to add Evelyn on to Core 1 and now they are both on the same page as far as history and read-alouds go.. Isn't that spiffy? I thought so! Anyways, so we have been packing away all of our stuff on Rome, Greece and Egypt and replacing it with Beowulf, Charlemagne and Marco Polo. It should be fun! In fact, this week Quinn started reading Story of the World volume 2 on his own because he just couldn't wait for the rest of us. Don't worry, there will be plenty of whining and complaining coming from his corner when it comes time to start math and writing again.
I had been hopeful to start next week but we have so many not-back-to-school extravaganzas planned that school just isn't going to fit into the schedule. It looks like we will be starting the following week which is when co-op, CBS, AWANA, playgroup and everything else starts anyways. Might as well begin with a bang!
