Monday, a new day...the start of Summer (Home) School

Well, this was meant to take place last Tuesday but with the events of last weekend and the adjustment to the new anti seizure medication, we took last week off. Today we get back to work! While some homeschoolers take the summer off, we work all year. Why? We are a little more laid back and don't keep to a strict schedule, so why not? It isn't like we schedule around our school work, we do school work around our schedule.





So what will our summer school day look like? I can't predict tomorrow, well I might be able to, but today looks like this: It is almost 8am and everyone is still sleeping. I need to get Westin up so he can get some food on his stomach to take his medication. After breakfast and meds I think he will get his chores done (picking up the living room, emptying the bathroom trash, picking up his bedroom (well, room without a bed) and any dirty clothes laying around the house. Then we will do some tangram puzzles, followed by some handwriting practice. Then he will need to complete 3 Language Arts assignments and 1-3 math assignments (depending on how long they are and how difficult) on http://www.time4learning.com/ That will probably be all. We might find a science experiment to throw in the mix.





Tomorrow is a work day, meaning Wieland will go stay with Nikki (friend that does daycare and also homeschools) and Westin and I will ride into town with Jason to the shop. During our time in town we will grocery shop and head to the Kalamazoo Public Library to see if we qualify for a library card as business owners in Kalamazoo. Then we are checking out our new read "Founding Mothers". So this will get added into our daily homeschool routine. After we get whatever needs to be done, done, we will come home and enjoy some quite time without Wieland. This will give us more time to do school work, clean house, enjoy the silence. :)





Well, off to summer (home) school!
