Our First Week Back

        One of the benefits of starting school back in July is it gives us a few solid weeks before all of our other extra curricular activities start up. So it was a pretty quiet week at home and we were able to follow our schedule and make tweaks as necessary. Not too many pictures just busy teaching and learning. Joshua is doing really well with his new classes and block schedule. He really seems to like foundations and it is teaching him about his learning styles..
       The younger ones are enjoying science and history. Lots of fun experiments and hands on activities. Jadon and Natasha were pretty excited their math books didn't come in until Friday. They just did timed tests all week.  I have started a book club for Savannah and Alexa this year. So for reading we are reading the first book in it From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. I think the nicest thing has been finishing everyday by 2 or 2:30. I am really glad about that because as soon as sports start up we will probably be leaving by 3:00.  Over all I think it was a good first week back with minor distractions. This next week we are working on them taking turns prepping snacks and lunch. :)
          I only have a few pictures. Friday we did several science experiments learning about matter and density.
