Weekly Wrap-Up… 2nd Week of School

 

This week (well, really Sunday, which is the ‘start’ of next week) is Fox’s 12th birthday. Time seems to go so fast. Today, Friday (when I am writing up part of the wrap-up), I will be taking Fox and Lee (can’t leave her out!) out to lunch at one of their fav places to eat in our little town. Canton Dragon. Chinese food…yum.

Since this week at Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers is a Curriculum Link-Up, < follow that link to my posts about ours for the year (see my plan on planning, too). I previously linked up with Training Children Up for Christ, so have a look-see there also.

As for the rest of the week… smoothish sailing. I think towards Wednesday things start to drag but by Friday all is well

Monday was a good day. Because it is paper route day…Lee’s schedule is lighter. It seems to have been a particularly difficult day for her to stay with the here and now. She also found me some neat things on her route. Fox was quite motivated- house-sitting means cable tv… he was done super fast with his school work! But actually he’s been doing quite well all week with his school. I finished the book The Search for WondLa (care to see my Book Guardians ‘review’ of it?) this day…and that is possibly the extent of ‘my’ achievements for Monday

Tuesday was the day that we seemed to have too much fudge-in-a-mug (yes, there is such a thing [‘too much’]). Fox and I pulled weeds at home and I wished I had a lawn mower for the backyard…oh well.

Wednesday has been the best in terms of school. It all got done in a somewhat timely fashion and done well, too. Lee wrote up a ‘report’ on the Black Death. It is a PDF at Google Docs. She has made it in reporter form- a bit like a newsletter/newspaper. It is called The Homeschool Reporter. She will add to it as she goes along in her history studies.

Thursday (my, was that yesterday? feels more like days ago) was a day of missed subjects and speeding through school. Fox went to play at a friends (for such a good job/attitude the rest of the week) and Lee just relaxed, doing school work in between when she felt like it. Fox’s speeding through school though got him in a little bit of trouble.

Friday. It’s been so-so so far (haha, enough so’s?). Not amazing, not bad. I had to attend a webinar this morning for TOS Homeschool Crew. It was interesting to hear Brenda Emmett’s voice finally! LOL sounded different than I expected! We had our lunch at Canton Dragon- the buffet. I only had 1 1/2 plates (and really mostly it was the yummy rice) but I ate too much! We love Chinese food…well the kids and I do. DH tolerates it for us. Lee didn’t get done with school until about 7 pm… not as good as I had hoped, but her attitude remained good. Since it is Friday they are watching a movie- Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

I had planned on posting this on Saturdays but I am thinking that tomorrow is going to be BIZ-EE! Have gifts to wrap, a cake to bake and decorate, house to clean and Bible reading to get caught up on. Linking up over at Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers- come on over!

 

*It seems the LiveWriter and the internet are not on speaking terms tonight so it will be tomorrow after all when it will be posted
