Our second week of school and we've already learned one very important thing.... homeschooling allows for flexibility. This week was filled with appointments, from dentists to minor day surgery, as well as a few final summer activites like going to the beach and learning how to fish. Somehow we managed to keep up with everything on our schedule, which is amazing considering how little time we were actually home. It's such a nice feeling to be enjoying the sun on a beautiful summer afternoon and not worrying about "being" anywhere in particular.
D still accomplished a decent amount of math lessons (estimation, weight), phonics readings (short i and short o vowels), a lesson on Creation, a few books about weather and a handful of experiments (making thunder; evaporation; condensation), and even the memorization of the poem "Rain" by Robert Louis Stevenson. A nice way to hold onto the last dyas of summer while still making a dent in our lesson plans.

It sounds like a nice week. And I think learning to fish is school. Isn't it the study of biology and a life skill?
Glad you had a good week. Enjoy your weekend!
We had a lot of appointments this week also so we didn't complete much but no one complained. ;)
The weather experiments sound like fun. My kids love that sort of thing.
And yes, fishing counts as school! :)
Hope you have a great week-end.
