Weekly Recap 8/16-8/20

We started our school year this week.   We spent Monday and Tuesday running errands, going out to lunch, playing outside and watching movies.  They were relaxing days and got us ready to begin our school year.  Because we homeschool and don't have to start on the same day as the public schools, we decided to start on Wednesday. You can check out our first day of school pictures if you like.

Wednesday was K13's first day of high school. This year she'll be taking three classes at the local high school: French, Band and Algebra. She's also decided to participate in the marching band. It's an activity that she's really enjoyed so far. K13 and I haven't started any of our homeschool classes, other than Bible, because of our abbreviated schedule this week.

Thursday was M's birthday (yes, more pictures) so we only went to the first day of our Community Bible Study on Thursday.  No school on birthdays!  (I love being able to make these rules.)..

Friday we tackled another day of homeschool while K13 went back for her second day of high school.  She's on an every other day schedule so it keeps things interesting for us when managing schedules and activities.

H11's favorite activity this week was writing. Writing Strands is such a great fit for her.

S8 enjoyed getting back into history this week.  He loves the stories.  He especially enjoys the stories about wars and fighting.   He can't wait to learn more about the Vikings.  Here he's illustrating the story of Beowulf that we read in SOTW2. 

M6 enjoyed being funny with her phonics this week.  Teaching her is going to be quite a challenge because "I don't feel like..." is one of her favorite expressions.
