September week 3

The kids have been working 

on various things this week

besides our main lesson of 

the Mississippi.  

Matthew has started in his 

Saxon math book for 5th & 6th

grade.  I have tried other curriculum

and he prefers Saxon.  It is  

a very traditional approach to

mathematics. More what we 

all remember from school.

Matthew has been loving 

his writing course.  They have 

been also bringing in more 

than just writing. Things like 

note taking and public speaking. 

Wesley is working on his 

explode the code.  This 

is a phonics program.

It helps him write and hear

the sounds.   He is even 

coming around a

"teensy" bit regarding his 

art class :)

Here is our science clubs first experiment day.

It was a great success.
very entertaining to say the least.


For homeschool co-op this week we
decided to clean the garbage from the
boomsite.  We had a terrific day made
even better when the kids found a
rope swing.

The boys with their buddy from co-op.

We also took a huge hike and did some
cave exploration.

Tillie started taking homeschool
ballet lessons.  This is such  a
bonus for me because we can
do it in the afternoon.  It really
frees up time for us.


Until next week
