Homeschool Mother's Journal - Week 9




.In my life this week…

Trying to get ready for our family garage sale and get ready for our upcoming week in Tennessee.  The garage sale was a last minute throw in because our town is holding the Community sales next weekend.  Just a lot of stuff to get done and priced in a short time.  We have 4 kids and my brother & sister-in-law have 2, so between the 6 kids....no one was ever naked because there was no clothing!!  (It was because they just strip it all off!)  Their little garage is busting at the seems (and it's not even a little garage) with clothes, toys, household items, puzzles, books and other homeschool items I have decided to part with.  Depending on weather is how much we can put out....so praying for good weather.  But we know we will have to have another couple sales this summer because there is so much stuff, it's been a couple years.

In our homeschool this week…

We worked on the weather unit we had not finished yet.  We also did some reading and kept up with most of our normal sports activities.  It was hard to get everything done.  Feel a bit like I am drowning...so looking forward to our week in Tennessee!!

Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…

The boys started cycling this week in Special Olympics. They did 3 laps around the local fairgrounds racing track.....I was dying after one.  And I thought I was in shape.  Next week we have a tour of the library we use to learn how to find items better.  And we are going to go to Cedar Point Amusement park.  Grandpa and Grandma bought the family season passes as a gift....AWESOME!!  I also have the Homeschool Expo conference from The Old Schoolhouse.

My favorite thing this week was…

I was super excited to get the email that we were selected to be on the TOS Review Crew for the 2011-2012 school year!  Can't wait!!!  Also my hubby got me a new Smart Phone to help me organize myself better....so far I like it, but still trying to get used to it.

What’s working/not working for us…

Not enough time...and tooooo much to do!!

Homeschool questions/thoughts I have…

I have been getting our items ready for our new school year, lesson plans, notebooks, etc.  This is on top of everything else we have been working on.  We will be starting the new curriculum the first full week of June.  Still wrapping up items right now, but nothing major.  Getting very excited to start Story of the World Volume 1.  Lots of fun stuff planned!!
