Today was a good day. I love starting posts that way. I wish I could write a daily post as well as Faith. Her entries are so delightful and mine feel like chewed up cardboard. Or maybe that’s what it feels like to write them. Enough with the self deprecating humor and stalking: here’s what we did today!
I have decided to give up science until after New Year’s. It’s stressing me out. So that’s that. We are booking it to finish the first half of England because we want to dip into Islam and the Crusades. Anyone know some good resources/books? That are cheap!?! I would like for us to finish verbs also, but it seems like a review of exactly the same things we did last year in his A Beka book. I need a new grammar book too (Hint hint Santa). This amish one we have is. so. boring. Even I hate it. And I am a grammar nerd. Not that you can tell by reading my posts. We should finish Geometry by the holidays, so yeah, one checkmark in the win column! I finally found a math book I like and it was free! One of our homeschool vets gave it to me ( free and brand new from the publisher!) and lo and behold it is the same text our county uses. Who woulda thunk it, they actually got something right. It’s the McGraw Hill text for 5th grade. The manipulatives are fun too. I don’t know how you can get it, but I got mine, so yeah. ;) We covered triangles and corrected history summaries and read Robin Hood. And baked a million chocolate hazelnut cookies. Ok more like 60, but wow. I am tired. You chickens have a good one.
I’m glad you had a good day. I always enjoy reading your posts.
They are witty and “real.”
