Weekly Wrap-Up...11/05/10 (with paintings!!)

Hosted by Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers

So this week went super fast. Oh, who am I kidding...they all go fast! I've just got to learn to keep up! We did our usuals (Bible, Math, and Life! lol) as well as a few little extras. God is good and keeps us going :)


Monday was an extremely busy day. We had Co-Op, which went very well, followed by grocery shopping. I had made some weird bread type stuff for lunch (it had little carrots and 1 beet shredded along with some oatmeal and raisins- and 1 cup of sugar) that only a few slices were taken of. That's alright...more for us at home because although the beet made it a bit odd, it was good. A bit like carrot cake..but not. At Co-Op the kids had Watercolor and it was my favorite class of the day. Check out their paintings! I love them!

Monday was also the official start to NaNoWriMo! Lee is doing it this year but not Fox or I. I've just got too much on my plate to add that. Lee is following the Young Writer's Program and has set a end goal of 25,000 words. I think she is doing well to start with :) That is pretty much her writing curriculum for the month of November. Thankfully for me she is such a self-motivated person (uh, in most things anyway!)


Tuesday was a trying day at our house.... 'nuff said. We finally finished Lesson 3 of The Write Foundation's Sentence to Paragraph. Um, watch for my review of this product in just a few days (11/10/10). One thing about Tuesday that was awesome though was I received a $10 cash card for Pamida. I didn't really have anything that I needed but decided to use it since it expired in a very short time. I was able to buy a Bionicle (Lego action figure thingy) and a tube of Burt's Bees (LOVE Burt's Bees but can never keep from losing them!) for the grand total of $1.55- what a steal! I wish there had of been something I actually needed to buy then that would have been a truly exceptional deal :) Lee has decided to not do ballet any longer and that makes me sad but I can't force her to go. If she doesn't want to then...okay. She at least had the opportunity. 


Wednesday Lee had her first act as Secretary of the Goshen Drifters 4H Club; she was to type up a short statement to take to the club's bank to remove/add individuals. Her signature was required and it helped her to feel really important :) On Wednesday we went to the local 2nd hand stores in hopes of finding some pants for Fox but came away instead with a pair for Lee. Guess boys pants just don't last as long. On Wednesday also it was decided that another "...Day" needed to be done. The choices were Colonial or Egyptian. In the end it had to be Indian. The library was lacking on books to adequately plan either of the other days. We went to the store to pick up the few items that would be needed (cost me under $5) and Lee started right away. She usually has to do it herself because she is extremely picky- and creative! We just can't do it the 'right' way ;) It was tentatively planned for Thursday but in the end it was decided that maybe next week would be much better- giving her more time to get everything ready.


Thursday was good: They accomplished 2 lessons in their LoF books (some of Fox's I'm just so confused about- perhaps it's the Biology bit- I'm not so good at science. Fortunately for him  me us, he will also be going through the PreAlgebra with Economics book). They are both moving along nicely. We did some more science from Christian Kids Explore Physics. I am liking this book (watch for my review coming out 11/22/10)! We also did some Latin that we've been neglecting (poor poor Latin...lol- it's not special though Spanish has also been neglected). We accidentally skipped Lesson VII quiz! maybe it will get done Friday. Fox and I started on Lesson 4 in Sentence to Paragraph and didn't get far at all...how hard can adjectives be and that thesaurus must be his friend by now (right along side the tissue box haha!).


Friday! It's here now and well...here's the plan. ALL OF SCHOOL. That's the plan. Lol. Great plan eh? Also plan to do more work on the Monthly Barden since it's to come out by the 15th. Fox and I have to finish up our stories and spots. Of course, Lee, she's on top of things and her parts are pretty much done ;) And for me I need to read some more of Charlotte Mason's Volume 6, Chapter 8: The Way of the Will.
