We have just completed our second week of school at the Macpherson Academy and things are as crazy as ever. Poor William, after that rainy weekend at the fair he came down with a terrible sore throat and finally after three days I took him to a walk in clinic. He had Strep throat,poor kid. So he actually didn't start his school work till this past week. Olivia has been doing great and sped through all her work before lunch each day. She waits for William and I because we do our History studies together. I feel that we are going to have another great year including some great projects that we always seem to put off.
"Oh no, not SCHOOL!"
William's Studies
Olivia's studies
It has always been difficult to fit some of those other things like arts and crafts into our program. William and Olivia both love to draw so it has become my goal to do some more structured art classes. I can't afford to pay for instruction but we will be using the book Drawing with Young children. I have been reading it and am really inspired to actually do it along with the children. So on Wednesday mornings we will be spending some of our school time in ART class. Here are a few pictures that Olivia just did on her own. She loves using color. Enjoy!
I love the art and wow that is one big stack of books. Looks like you have everything ready to go. But don't you ever just want a break?
ReplyDeleteI love homeschooling so much! For me it isn't a chore or hard our family just gets in a rhythm and we move along all year. Of course we do have interruptions and challenges but we just take them as they come and then continue on in our studies. My breaks are in the gym every morning and evenings reading and of course the weekends.
