homeschool Mother's Journal.


In My Life This Week:
Well, I guess I can't call this weekly if I don't do it weekly but I am trying. This week has been great. I am enjoying every bit of it. Buck got home on Sunday from a week long trip to pick up another Helicopter. The weather has been very nice and even a little Hot, so sunday I took Cody and Kyle to the beach and it was very nice to sit back and relax.

In our Homeschool This Week:
We have had a great Homeschool week. We have been really working on our U.S geography and have started our second grouping the Midwestern states the boys are doing really good but I am mastering them I tested myself today and only missed one state, not to bad. . We finished up Fable Haven #5 The Keys To the demon Prison.

Places we are going people we are seeing:
We attended a school expo Justin shared some of his artwork. we hit the movies on base and the beach. tonight Justin went to the all student worship night.

My favorite thing this week was:
Our life group meeting on Wednesday. we are doing a book called Love and Respect and I feel like I am learning so much about my husband in the process.

What's working/not working:
I think that most things are working right now. Justin has found a great math tutor in Nina's Mom. This helps me as sometime your kid just thinks he knows more than you and to have someone else teach them just works better.

Homeschool Questions/ thoughts to share:
I guess here is where I say how much I love homeschool and I sure do. I am just so thankful for the opportunity to be homeschool my kids and spend this short amount of time I have with them in their life. I love it and could never see doing this a different way.

A Photo or quote:
Flowers from my lovely daughter for mothers day. What an awesome surprise at my door.

I am glad you homeschool too because I think you probably learn more than the kiddos-now if we can only retain the information.

I do learn lots. I discovered we needed a little knowledge in the U.S. geography part of our life I could only place like 35 of the states (thats without a list of the names.) I got them down now. The boys have done the NorthEast and the Middle Western states (the states near the Great Lakes) now I am working on the proper abbreviations and then maybe all the capitols I know quite a few of them because we play sequence States and Capitols.
