I so want to be planning school right now! I want to buy school supplies, and start getting things ready to start school next week. It looks like we surely won't be starting until after the long weekend. Oh well, there is nothing much I can do about it! I suppose I need to cut myself some slack, we barely have all the books on shelves! Never mind planning which ones to use.
I know that we are going to start the year catching up on a bit of math, practicing times tables like crazy, and we will be doing a novel study on a book called The Case of the Dognapped Cat or something like that! Olivia is excited! Anything that involves reading is a good assignment for her. That will give me a few weeks to get ready for our 10 week unit on Explorers...And let me say on that note, if you need to study explorers, take a look at this unit study CD-Rom from Homeschool in the Woods. Their website is http://homeschoolinthewoods.com/HTTA/TTS/ . This looks so cool!! I can't wait to jump in. I also bought a new science curriculum this year, so we will be studying Biology as well. I figure we will be doing our first KONOS unit sometime around end of November, beginning of December. So at least I feel like there is some time for me to plan the big stuff.
I will be teaching a Preschool phys ed class at Friday afternoon Homeschool activities, so that should be fun as well!
Grace is actually getting a little excited about starting school...So hopefully she can keep that enthusiasm for a week or two more!
Anyway, just wanted to post an update, as I was getting the gears from some of you recently (you know who you are!!!!!). Hope everything is going well for you in your neck of the woods!
