on the road again ...
Sep. 13, 2007 - On the road again ...
Tomorrow we set out for our 2nd trip to Missouri this summer ... in addition, AJ and I made a trek to Indiana. It seems like we've been out of town or had company since August 1st! And we've even had our 30th day of school ... or something like that anyway!
I am lovin' the Mystery of History curriculum we're using ... and I think AJ likes it too. I know he likes the map activities! We've had to order a couple of new Atlases to make it through, but I never mind having to buy another book ...
The Keys To ... books are proving to be a great transition and skill building tool. We'll do that until January and then switch to Teaching Textbooks Pre-Algebra.
We're reviewing some grammar basics and learning to write descriptive paragraphs ... and all on his own he's keeping a journal.
Bible is working out well and affording me the opportunity to really help AJ develop his comprehension skills.
We're reading great books ... mostly Sonlight, but a few voluntary things as well. And, we've discovered Audiobooks for his Ipod.
Last week he did a couple of projects with my favorite home ec teacher ... he made Indianapolis Colts boxer shorts and learned to make a basic white sauce!
We've been to an art museum and the NCAA Hall of Champions.
I'm working out a plan for science where dad will be working on the experiments. That's taking a bit more planning and some rethinking, but I think it will be worth it in the end.
But tomorrow ... we drive. No school in honor of his birthday on Saturday! 12?? How can that be? I can close my eyes and recall how he felt in my arms the first time ... and now he just rolls his eyes at me as I hug him! Not that it slows me down!
