Week 2 in Review

Monkey turned 4!

We are still working on our Peter Rabbit/Beatrix Potter unit study. We are 1/2 way through her journal and the girls are loving it - it is so beautifully done. We have read some more of her books. We are continuing throught the sonlight Cores and Language Arts - I am not going to post about these in any detail as I am posting the details on Learning in the Box - our workbox blog.

We started our "sports" afternoons even though school is not officially started for most. There were 4 other homeschooling families that joined us in the pool this week. LOTS of FUN! We are so blessed to have a pool in this house.

Wombat had his Physio assessment this week. He is on track with most things just a little slow in some fine motor skills whihc is only to be expected with his eyes. That has not stopped him getting into EVERYTHING this week. Now that he is pulling himeself to standing on everything his arms seem to have grown and nothing is out of reach!

Zebra started her history/timeline notebook.

Workbox update - I HATE filling workboxes! But it is so worth it - I am still working on simplifying this process. At the moment I am still not fully organized I was using a weekly planner that had all the girls on it but I really need to have one per child and a week at a glance so working on this. (I could just use the 'curriculum grid' Sue provided but I like making my own and this will match my MOTH planner) I have found that inorder for the day to go smoothly I MUST fill the boxes the night before and I must shine my sink!!!
