Oh…How the Time Flies! (What We Accomplished…Days # 59-61)

Our week off of school zoomed past! Here we are heading into the end of week #13 and I haven’t updated what we’ve done… eh, time flies! I fully intended to do it Monday and the other days.

We have done quite well. Some books were finished and we have started onto new ones. Some subjects we are a wee bit behind on, but we aren’t stressing (yet). I had to quickly fill in the kids’ schedules on Monday morning. I at least got that day done before they started school. I wrote up the rest throughout the day.

And you know what? We did nothing on our week off of school. Sigh. It was sad but at the same time it was still nice to not have school Although…I really like when they have school to do heehee. I worked on my school paper but it stressed me out terribly. I like their school better…Ah, and I read a good book.

I did a short post on our hymn for the month. You can read that here. Also, tomorrow you can see my composer study post. Link up if you would like Oh! and if you want to check out the review I did for Excellence in Literature, that is here. It is a great program. I am thinking we may continue with it next year. You may see a few items that aren’t usual to the schedule (lol if you pay that close attention to what they/we do ): MIRL and Heritage History Classical Curriculum. These two items are being reviewed. You will see my post for MIRL (from Math Mammoth) around 11/11-11/18 and Heritage History should go live the end of next week. I’ve been fortunate to have HHCC for almost two months now. Watch for my review.
