In my life this week…
we are getting ready for a big concert at church! On Sunday night our church will be hosting
John Mark McMillian.
In our homeschool this week…
Sammy finished up his All About Reading level 1 this week! We are going to play the add on games and re-read our books before moving on to level 2. We might even start level 1 of the All About Spelling program before starting about reading level 2.
Helpful homeschooling tips or advice to share…
Sammy is finishing up a lot of his programs for the year. I wasn’t sure if I should start the next level or just let him be done with them. After a chat with
Jolanthe I realized I could just incorporate the things he has finished into his other work. For example.. Sammy will be done with his handwriting program next week. Instead of starting the next level we will do some Draw Write Now and write the sentences that go along with it. We will also do some extra handwriting practice with some of our themes.
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…
We had a super fun day at co-op this week. Sammy had so much fun doing his first ever valentine exchange. He also got this:
Oh man do I have my hands full over here!
My favorite thing this week was…
getting my new kindle! I have been having fun loading it up!
My kiddo’s favorite thing this week was…
Sammy’s favorite thing this week was either finishing level 1 and taking his aunt out to lunch for his reward for working so hard or his first valentine exchange with his friends!
Things I’m working on…
some blog changes (nothing dramatic)! I am also getting a new design soon (but I'm not the one working on it!
I’m cooking…
ahem.. need to do a better job in this category!
I’m grateful for…
my husband’s ability to fix just about anything.. including my laptop power cord!
I’m praying for…
lots of sick people to get better! This has been a really tough winter and I hope everyone will get better quickly!
I rewarded my kid this week by…
taking Sammy out to lunch for finishing level 1 and getting ice cream too!
Something I am ogling or have my eye on…
the game
Ticket To Ride. We have played a few times with friends and really enjoy it!

We are getting better about going to the library regularly! I feel like we are real homeschoolers now *winks*!

Going to the library regularly is one sign, the next is when you get someone stare at you and your HUGE pile of books.....
What a great week :) We took the week off while we got used to having Baby J with us. But - we did get to the library and it felt so good to be doing something for school again.
Hope you have a great weekend!
There are some homeschooling patrons at our library that bring in a rolling carry-on suitcase to hold all their books! Sounds like you had a great week!
What a fun week. Good advice from Jolanthe as always!
Congrats! You finished a curriculum! Isn't that a great feeling? I wanted to invite you to link this to Its a Wrap at HammockTracks. -Savannah www.hammocktracks.com
I came over from the WeirdunsocializedHomeschoolers blog hop. Took me 5 minutes to translate the binary "True Geek". That gave me a chuckle.
Ha ha ha on that Valentine!!! Mustang made a Valentine for a boy in her class, and then I informed her that she had to make one for at least the girl in her class, too. Thankfully, there was no bride and groom! You make me feel better that hers just had boys fighting on it, because it was for a boy and boys like to fight. Oh my that's just funny!!!
Oh, and on the library. Our check out talks to you. I walk up and it announces, you have 29 books checked out and 6 holds available. I swear, everyone turned to look, lol!
Now I'm just tired from reading that...you've been busy!
wow you are busy! Looks like super fun though
Ticket to Ride is one of our favorite board games. I hope you can get your hands on one!
love love love the little valentine picture from his friend! so so so sweet!!
