Since Sam and I are trying to get in the habit of journaling I thought I’d type something quick before jumping in bed. Hope it all makes sense and there aren’t too many typos. LOL!
Going camping this weekend with the dojo. Lots to do tomorrow to get ready. We’re all excited. Bob does Hospital Hill on Saturday. (Go Bob!) I hope he can make it camping for Saturday night.
Told Sam today that if we do 2 more regular weeks of school work, we can start summer break a week early. He’s excited, so is Jessie. I think we will sit down that first week and the three of us decide on a daily schedule. It may fluctuate but I hope it will give them some experience in time management. *crosses fingers* And keep us from floundering through the summer.
One thing I’ll be doing on those “off” weeks is detailing out the first quarter of next year. Have all the books and have planned out the quarter so what I’m really going to be doing is planning out the lessons I hope to cover in the first quarter.
Will be continuing to use the modified workbox system. For some reason, not tieing every lesson to a time has helped. Rather I’m just listing an order. Somehow it all gets done faster. Weird! Some things, like 4H, have a time but others, like Latin, are just done that day.
I’m really excited about next years curriculum and can’t wait to start using it. The kids are too which is a definite plus.
K. Nuff rambling. Time for bed. G’Nite!
