Review Intro - Unit 3

Review weeks help us prevent burn out and also to avoid the socialization pitfall that stereotypes  homeschooling . We had a play date, went and saw family, had more outside time and the boys led the activities for the week. Munchkin likes to teach so it gives him a chance to teach me what he's learned. We reviewed and read weekly books, bible words and concepts for Creation, Sun, Moon and Leaf. For Doodlebug, we played games that incorporated his bible stories, shapes, colors and numbers. 

I also designed and began working on our end of the year quilt. Here's a preview of the squares. I used the same clip art from the weekly graphics for a consistent feel. I'll print these to photo paper, colorfast and sew together. 

Review and End of School

Week 36 of 36

Yes, I'm just now getting around to blogging about the end of school last Spring. Internet at the apartment over the summer was not conducive to stress free attempts to blog. We moved again from our temporary summer apartment since our house was finished in mid August. We moved and it's taken a month for internet service to be connected due to a cut wire with all the new construction going on in our neighborhood, not to mention all the unpacking, Labor Day and family coming in to town.

We did finish a review week:

This was our first time to use a curriculum. ABC Jesus Loves Me preschool curriculum has been a wonderful fit for our family and we can't wait to use it again in the fall!

Review - Week 33

Week 33 of 36

Due to moving we have taken it casually and really just read, played and survived over the last couple of weeks. My in-laws graciously drove 8 hours to come help us pack since I've been dragging around a broken foot for the last 6 weeks.  I'm grateful for educating our boys at times like this. We are building a new home so this move #1. Move #2 happens in August. We are very grateful to God for being so generous with us in this area as the new space will accommodate learning from home in a much better way.  We are excited about God plans for the future.
