We are in our 7th week of homeschool for the year. It's technically been a little longer but there were some breaks in there for Point Clear and awesome fall weather. I am measuring our weeks by our new Classical curriculum and so today we will start that week 7.
The kids are almost finished with their Singapore math books and we will be moving onto Math U See. It should arrive later this week. I am really excited about it and I will post more on that later.
Mathias has read through The Mouse and the Motorcycle, The Swiss Family Robinson (his fav- he'd really love that movie *wink*) and Treasure Island (we are seeing a live stage performance of this in January). He has also read through other random picks but those are his "school" reads so far. He is now starting The Incredible Journey. It is at a 6-8th grade reading level and looks a bit more challenging so we will see how this one goes. He hasn't had any trouble with his previous reads.
The kids can sing the timeline from Creation to Jesus for now. They can recite history sentences from Charlamange to The Reformation. Their favorites being The Crusades (Allie), and The 100 yrs War (Brielle).
Mathias LOVES his STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and while he is there the girls and I do our weekly errands/grocery shopping.
All in all this school year has gone well. It was a bit rough in the beginning trying to figure out the logistics of it but now we seem to have found a groove of sorts. For now.
