The Week of June 8th-14th

Today we're having just reading lessons and just finishing up Bob Books Set 1 (The large combined edition in the blue box)

M, T, W,F, S- Reading, Math, Science

Monday we're going swimming hopefully, it will be over 90 degrees here and spending time with a friend.

Tuesday, hopefully it will be cooler, we're meeting some other homeschoolers

Wednesday, nothing special, we're getting a few errands done with Daddy

Thursday, no school as usual but I have an appointment

Friday, I am thinking will be an art day but we also could end up going swimming

Saturday is Boo's Baptismal day. We're going to have a small present and a special desert and talk about the Sacrament of Baptism.

School Resumes

Alright, school has resumed. However, it's hot and I am uncomfortable for very justifiable reasons... so we're taking it slow. This week we just did reading. Next week I am adding math and science back into the mix. The following week handwriting and history return. Not to mention we're going to do the summer reading program at the local library. After that week copywork, memory work, geography and the arts will resume.

On Thursday we took a field trip to a botanical garden as part of our study on plants. Plants from now until August. Human Body will begin in October through November. Finally, we will study our huge Animal unit from December until the school year ends in April or May, we will culminate that with a trip to the zoo.

Well, that is a brief rundown of our plans for science. Now for some pictures of our trip:

Both Boo and Meenie enjoy the children's garden.

Here we are with Mama's favorite flowers--Children and Irises.
