Weeks 7 and 8

School has been difficult these past 2 weeks. Most of our time has been spent in a car looking for a house. We thought we had everything with house hunting finished Monday of last week only to have our 100 year old farm house taken out from under us by a cash offer. So we have pretty much been out everyday since then.....AAAAHHHHHH!!!!

So I do not have a lot of school work pictures but here a few good everyday pics from our week.



Katlyn doing yoga.



Naaman doing yoga. Ella Grace refused to do it. ;)



Katlyn drying her hair by herself...for the first time. This was so huge for me, I am starting to realize just how big she is getting and.... I get all teary eyed like I am right now....okay....moving on!!!



Taylor starting rolling to her side this week..yet another milestone that puts me in tears.



Ella Grace and Naaman fighting over who will get to look at the picture first.

I hope you all had a great week. Next week I will actually show some of the kids work.

3rd grade curriculum

I have been weighing our options for third grade for sometime. There are so many options and it is so overwhelming. Here's where I am as of now.

Latin - Latina Christina I, Ludere Latine I, Lingua Angelica I, and possibly The Book of Roots (this would be split between 3rd and 4th)

Spelling workout D

Living Learning Press - Chemistry

Horizon 3

Tapestry of Grace Year 3 w/ Story of the World 3

Teaching the Classics

Dandy Lion Logic - Primary Logic and Logic Safari

First Language Lesson 3

Wordly Wise 3000 ??

IEW

Classical Themes to Remember

As I look over the list, I always second guess. Is this too much, is it not enough, am I focus too much or too little on any subject? Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Have a great week!

I haven't disappeared

I can't believe how long it has been between my posts. We are in process of buying a house and it has become completely consuming.

School has been going great. Katlyn is doing so well, we will be starting some 3rd grade work at the beginning of the year if she keeps up this pace.

Here are some pics of what has been going on around here. Enjoy!!!



Katlyn and Burt painted and put this together.

Story of the world comics. She loved this!!




I love this responsibility chart. If she gets everything done through out the week without being asked she get $$. So far it is working great.




Katlyn's guitar lesson
