Today's science

Those tiny little things on it's back were babies. It was neat and gross. LOL

Nature Walk

The weather is so nice today so when were done with school we took a nature walk. We have a wonderful walking path that goes behind our house, so I took the little boys. They were so good.
Here are pix of all they collected. I have decided we need a bucket or basket for these walks. We all had our hands and I had one pocket full. LOL

Are these chestnuts or buckeyes? 

The little boys called the walnuts coconuts. LOL

He was dead so don't worry. LOL

Lots of roadblocks

Or really just life. School is plugging along and then last Friday I was hit with the worst headache of my life. I don't ever remember being that sick. Then today is Labor Day so no school today. But we will get back in the groove tomorrow adding a few more things for my high schoolers.
We are loving Heart of Dakota. C is learning so much.
He is also playing soccer. His first practice was interesting. His attention span is a bit short. LOL
Hopefully we can get pictures of the first game on Saturday. I know he will look cute in his uniform.
Praying this is a week of school with no sickness. 

Week 3

Our weeks have been interuppted since we started but I knew they would, that is why we started early.
Still loving HOD with C. He is doing great.
One product that I got this year that have never heard of anyone using was Biology 101 DVD. I watched the introduction yesterday and loved it. It is fun, engaging and easy to understand. I wish I had bought this last year.
Check it out if you have never heard of it at the link above.

First week+

We started school last week. I have two high schoolers and one in K.
So we started on Monday and it was good. Then Tuesday and Wednesday. Then on Wednesday afternoon C fell asleep and woke up from his nap with a fever. So no more school for him that week.
We are over the sickness now and this week was good although I took today off with C.

I started slow with my high schoolers so they kind of get the hang of things and will add in more slowly.

So all in all it is going well so far.

I am using Heart of Dakota with C. I am using Little Hearts for His Glory. I am loving it. It is so well organized and fun too.

With the older I am using a mish mash of stuff.

More to come...

Welcome to our school

This is where I am going to document our school year. I hope to have pictures and hopefully samples of school work on here. I will talk about the things we did and how they went. I will document our field trips and post the pictures of them. I will even do some reviewing of books we are using or reading.

I am hoping this will give me and my children a keepsake for years to come.
