Schooling year round


COOL MySpace Comments

Schooling during the summer is going to be no easy feat. Rebecca asked me why everyone gets to take the summer off except her. We did last year and it took atleast a month to catch her back up to where she needed to be. It's a waste of time. So, this summer, both girls will do some school work each day that we are home.
Monday, they went to Magnificent Monday at church. It's like VBS in one day. The theme for this month was clown. They had a blast. The theme for next month will be baseball and I believe that we will be going to a game at the Diamond. Too cool! I haven't heard what they are doing in Aug. yet. We also have Neighborhood Bible Time all next week.
Both Rebecca and Emily, who wants to be called Emi, did almost a days worth of seatwork before gymnastics. Emily, who could do school all day long, was fine. After I explained to Bec the benefits of schooling through the summer, she was ok with it.
Tuesday, we went to the movies and saw Charlotte's Web with Dakota Fanning. I hadn't seen that one yet and it was cute. Of course Emily got bored 2/3rd of the way in but that's normal. She needs to keep her mind hopping. Again, after lunch, they both did their work. Rebecca finished what was left over from Monday and did all of Tues. lessons as well.
Yesterday, we stayed home and kind of bummed around. Both girls were done school by 1:15, did some cleaning and then Emi and I took a nap while Bec did her favorite thing, watched Scooby Doo.
Right now, Emi is playing with Brysen and Rebecca is doing a Scooby adding/ subtracting book from the Dollar Tree. She started it last night and is almost done with it.
I'll have to post an update on what they are learning at a later date. It's amazing how much their little brains soak up.
