I considered having a separate homeschooling blog, but what is the point of that? Homeschooling is part of who we are. But, I will separate homeschooling from other family events and thoughts even if I post more than once on the same day.
Our Schedule...
We are very flexible with our time. We have "school" from 9am-2pm with lunch from 11:00am to 11:30am. You might think, "That is short." However, when you consider the fact that we are doing one-on-one tutoring, it is much more streamlined than traditional school. We follow the TJED method, so it will not look like what you are used to or, most likely, what your children are doing.
Today we did...
- Devotional - New Era - Oct. 2008 - We have been reading all about the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet. It is nice to have the stories in the New Era to go along with the standards in the pamphlet.
- Read-A-Loud - Story of the World Vol. 1, Chapter 29 "The Punic Wars", studied map of ancient Rome and located the ancient citites involved in the wars.
- Christian - Math-U-See geometry - area of a trapezoid, game programming using R4DS, reading "Calvin & Hobbes", journal writing
- Marlayna - read all of "The Shattered Land" (yes, the whole book in one day!), piano, singing, journal writing
- Together - Stave 2 and half of Stave 3 of "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens
- Me - Graded math, read journal writing, and prepared lesson for tomorrow's reading of "A Christmas Carol" which includes spelling, vocabulary, and grammar. We focus all of our standard English lessons on the current reading that we are doing together.
Celeste, it does not bother me of you talk about your homeschooling. I find it interesting! I envy the fact that you have the patience and the smarts to teach your kids. I want to pull my hair out practicing sight words! Ahhh!! It is a part of who you and your family are. This is your blog all about you, and that is a part of it. It is no different than me talking about my kids school. No worries! Keep posting!!
