After taking three weeks off for Christmas break, we hit the books again yesterday.
The great thing about homeschooling is that I get to decide the school calender.
The bad thing about homeschooling is that I get to decide the school calender.
In retrospect, taking three weeks off was a bit of a rookie mistake. It was hard getting back into the groove yesterday and no one skipped into the school room, whistling a happy tune about getting serious about work again.
We got so serious today, that our work took over not only the school room but the kitchen table.
(note the container of marshmallows…they make jumping feet first into a new school year just a bit easier to take)
We did some school in December, but most of it was uber-fun and holiday oriented. One science project even involved cookie dough, which makes learning more enjoyable in everyone’s book. However, December is past and we are staring straight into the face of January. There is still much more to be learned and accomplished, thus prompting us to get right back into the swing of things right after we rung in the New Year.
Hello, second semester, I am (mostly) glad that you are here. Hopefully we will finish you up before the 4th of July…
