Homeschool Mother’s Journal

March 26, 2011 By: amyswandering1 Comment

In my life this week…

We had spring break part two. Last week was a fun-filled time of shuffling kids here, there & yonder. This week we concentrated on spring cleaning.

In our homeschool this week…

Along with the spring cleaning, I just let the kids get caught up on any old work and focus on math. We discovered Beast Hunter this week and all agreed that watching it counts as science : -)

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

My SIL invited the whole family over for dinner on Friday night. We had so much fun talking, laughing & playing games. I discovered that I am now too old to stay up until 2 a.m. and still function the next day!

My favorite thing this week was…

The beautiful weather, and rejoicing with my friends Spring & Chad over the healthy birth of their long-awaited baby boy!

What’s working/not working for us…

We are nearing the end of our Math Mammoth workbooks and have been very pleased with them.

Homeschool questions/thoughts I have…

Has anyone used Diana Waring Presents for history? How did you like it? I am thinking about using Ancient Civilizations and the Bible next year.

A photo, video, link, or quote to share…

We are not unschoolers, but I came across this a few days ago and it has really made me think:

“People will say “How will they learn algebra in the real world?” Is there algebra in the real world? If not, why should it be learned? If so, why should it be separated artificially from its actual uses? “Why?” should always be the question that comes before “What?” and “How?”. ” Sandra Dodd

WFMW- 40 Bags in 40 Days

March 9, 2011 By: amyswandering3 Comments

 

I love this idea of 40 Bags in 40 Days from Clover Lane.

During the 40 days of Lent, get rid of all the STUFF that clutters my life.

Little by little … one area a day.

I keep saying that it all needs to go. I want to simplify and concentrate on what matters.

But I just never get around to it.

So what is going to be different this time?

I am committing this project to God.

Something not to be taken lightly.

Giving it up because He gave it all for me.

Do you want to join in?

Here’s A Round Tuit to get you started  : )

This post is part of Works For Me Wednesday.
