Homeschool Weekly - Back to Normal Edition

In our homeschool . . . we did our best to have a normal week, defining normal as staying busy with schoolwork throughout each day! That said, I neglected to work on Grammar with either kid, but that was my fault rather than theirs. And related - I do wish that we had a written-in-stone kind of time to work on their Student Writing Intensive course, because it is tough to be consistent with it when we seem to do it on a different day every week.

Everything else seems to be going quite well though, and both kids are making good progress in all subjects! I love being able to make a short, sweet report like that.

I've been hunting up worksheets and other resources from the website we're reviewing, Help Teaching, and we'll also be working on a review of the latest audio adventure from Heirloom Audio Adventures, The Dragon and The Raven. The day it arrived, Kennady and I were both SO excited! She immediately saved the entire thing to her iPod and has been listening to it by herself. I'm hoping to listen together with Landon this week.

In other news . . . Last Saturday the hubster and I drove up to Duncannon to browse an antique mall there and then had dinner at a barbecue place we'd been wanting to try. We were sort of disappointed - but not really - that the old fire watchtower was not open for us to climb. We had climbed it a few years ago when we last visited, but that was in the fall. It made sense that the tower was closed, as I'm sure the stairs would have been icy and potentially dangerous.



all our other activities returned to normal schedules this week as well, with one exception.Due to flooding and very foggy condition on Wednesday evening church activities were cancelled. So we spent yet another evening at home, and had to reschedule our worship team practice for a different night.

Today Kennady and I went on a shopping spree to a thrift store, and only realized when we got there that it was dollar days. We've had some pretty good luck shopping at that store in the past, but today we got everything for a dollar apiece! The downside is that they don't have the dressing rooms open during dollar days, so we weren't able to try anything on. Well, let's hope for the best!

And right now I am in need of a nap, so I am going to keep this short and get it posted quickly!

I recommend . . . visiting the Schoolhouse Review Crew blog to see Crew members' thoughts on homeschooling through various situations in the How Do I Homeschool When . . . Round-up.
