Out In The Summer Sun
I know, I know. Lack of posting going on here. My only excuse is that we haven’t been feeling very homeschool-y lately. It’s summer, practically. Our days have been spent jumping in mud puddles, driving cars through the grass, and loving on that big moose of a dog the neighbor girls have. Of course in exchange they come cuddle with our kittens on the front porch. It’s a fair trade off.
I have been working on a list of things to do once the weather cools off. Nothing too rigid or planned. Mostly just making a list of the books I think we’re ready for, the ones I’m dying to read again but have been waiting for the kids to be old enough to get them. I’ve also been looking over several version of the requirements for next year. Comparing what the state requires with what several various curriculum companies offer. Having a list makes me far less worried, especially when I can already see several things that could be marked off a few more that I know we’re almost grasping. I like to make sure we’re doing fine before jumping back into not really doing anything formal or closely resembling school.
I’ve also been sent a few books from Kumon publishing that I plan to review later next week at my personal blog. They sent me an email asking if I would be willing to try out their workbooks and offer some honest feedback. I’m not done really exploring them yet, but let’s just say that for the last two days my oldest has actually asked me to let him do some of the pages. If that’s not saying something I don’t know what is.
I hope everyone else is having a relaxing summer, if it’s summer where you live.
