Academy Garage Sale
My Used Homeschool Books & Stuff Sale I’m not one of those people who has a garage sale every year. In fact, we don’t even have a garage at our house. I don’t do yard sales either.

Flying Through Summer with Creatures of the 5th Day
For the first time in my life I am doing summer school. Yes, you heard me right. I am the self-proclaimed homeschool teacher who said, summer school was for the birds. Yes, it is for the birds, that is why we will be doing summer school, the birds. We have spent the year in Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Zoology 1, Flying Creatures of the 5th Day. It has been a good study and I wish I could say that we are finished. However we are not. We will continue science through the summer. With the hopes of completing it so we can begin Zoology 2, Swimming Creatures of the 5th…

This Week… Ah Summer Weather
We have had a long, long, long winter. I feel like we didn’t really have a spring. In fact just last week we had frost on the ground. But this week summer weather has arrived. Little Man made a choice a couple of months ago, he decided he wants to do Apologia’s Exploring Creatures of the Fifth Day, Swimming Creatures. But he wasn’t finished with Flying creatures, so I told him he’d have to do it in summer. He agreed. So Tuesday and Wednesday he worked in science, writing and math. In Science he continued his study of Insects. He really likes it, and he’s working without any grumbling or…

This Week… Working Through
This Week...I’m so ready to be done with school. Our usual school year would have ended this week. However, this will be the first year that we are continuing into summer. I’m not happy about this, however it has been his decision to finish “Flying Creatures” so we can move into “Swimming Creatures” in the fall. I admire his willingness to dedicate his summer to continued study. He also will continue in Math, well, because he likes it so much. I’m going to continue to encourage him to write. I’m going to give him a journal and let him write whatever he wants through the summer. I simply can’t believe…

This Week…Diligent Work with a Fun Find
This week…With being away at my parents 2 days of this week, it was a whirlwind of a week in trying to get our school work in. But Little Man worked diligently on the lessons assigned. I wonder if it’s because he wants to get it done so he can go out and play or if he sees the finish line of the academic year approaching and is trying to race to get it done, without carry over into summer. Either way, this is pleasing to this teacher/mama and makes me one happy girl. Bible:Even though he has finished his lessons in Bible Study Guide for All Ages, that does…
