About Me

First and foremost, I'm a born-again Christian and child of the great I AM! I'm also blessed to be a helpmeet to my wonderful husband and a stay at home, homeschooling mother to our 4 beautiful gifts from God. I'll write about trying to homestead in the city, healthier living, frugality,being as self sufficient as possible, cloth diapering, breadmaking, cooking & baking with whole foods and so much!

Summer School...Yay!!!

Posted in In the Classroom

When I was growing up, summer school meant that you had flunked out of your regular classes. For us, it just means business as usual!

Bottom line, when I've given the kids the summer off in the past, behaviors, attitudes, and retention of materials they've learned all go down the drain. So now, we take a couple of weeks off to re-group and then dive right back in.

We'll be starting back our new school year in one more week and I have to say...I'm so excited! We'll be starting a new Weaver Volume...#5, Interlock with the littles, Spelling Power, Rod & Staff English 5, and continuing with MUS Intermediate.

This year looks like so much fun with so many interesting topics....I'm really looking foward to it!

Friday, July 4, 2008 - I'm with you

Posted by Tiredmamaof5


My kids are driving me nuts with all their "boredom" so I said we would start school up after we go camping next week. Infact, I can't wait till we get in the mountains so we can start our nature journals.
Good luck to you!

Hugs,
Nikki
