No two days alike in the life of a homeschool teacher. All that I plan changes as the days roll on. I tend to leave a lot of room for change. Grace All Over It. This little spot, a simple way for me to track our attendance, curriculum and pace. I will post goals and accomplishments here all for my record keeping purposes. Feel free to pick through & see what we're doing.

April Week 1 Spring Break

For Spring break I've worked in the garden, done some home organization and played games with the boys. We also attended a few science sessions at the library, learning about sound waves, fossils and space.

Our challenge for the week was to see how many board & card games we could play. As of now we're up to 19. It's been a fun way to have a focus and challenge over the week.
