Well Dahlings, here we are, ringing in a new homeschool year!! So, how are you doing? Better than I, I’ll wager… Our 1st day of homeschool was last Thursday. I have most of my books, my homeschool room is a wreck, shelves filled with last year’s books and other books I can’t let go of [whisper] because I . . . → Read More: New Homeschool Year [whisper] I’m still unorganized.. I survived the whole end-of-year homeschool thingy…a big sigh of relief to reach the end of our year. It all went rather well, I think. I am so looking forward to enjoying a quiet Summer, and I am already excited about plans for next school year. My Spring cleaning was successfully accomplished (though a bit late)- this . . . → Read More: Homeschool Nirvana So, we had standardized testing last week. I had a bit of a dilemma, though. It’s actually a common mom dilemma: how to be in two places at once? 1 of 4 (10th grade dd) had her testing at another site, about 20 minutes away by freeway.

She had two hands worth of fingers up, working on a particularly sticky problem. 1 of 4 watched . . . → Read More: Mad Math Where to start? This has been, I am pretty sure, my most un-organized homeschool year. We homeschool through a charter school that is made up of all homeschooled students. There are several of this type here in California. Several, in fact, based in our area. We homeschool this way for probably equal parts accountability and help funding . . . → Read More: the mess that is me Our first two weeks back to homeschool are complete. The verdict? It’s going to be a great year, I think. But the driving to lessons just might kill me. The confession bit- (you know that’s why you are here…!) Well, I was really determined in my mind- to be very organized this year and have my learning area . . . → Read More: Home-School: first week back report We haven’t even started our new homeschool year, and I have to admit to you all that today just kicked my trash can. I wrote in the last post about being willing to drive my kids so many places…well, today was just too much for me. I met The Captain for lunch (that part was nice . . . → Read More: Driven a bit too much. My thoughts are finally turning towards preparing for our new homeschool year. I am happy with our curricula choices from last year, no big changes to make in that department. I am, however, thinking seriously about how to set up a better routine- and how to improve on things that were lacking last year. Here are 5 . . . → Read More: A new school year-5 things I am adding |
