I
guess you could call it that.
I
just started ordering curriculum today because we have been waiting on $$$. Hopefully it will all get here by the first week of September because we plan on diving in full-force after Labor Day.
We went to Ik*a and Office Dep*t yesterday to purchase a few necessities... Like a laptop for Alex, school supplies for all, and Alex's desk (that we put in Matt's home office).

| Good ol' Daddy, hardworking as always |
 |
| In case you were wondering, the desk is called "Expedit" and it's super cheap and super durable. We are thrilled with it. |

| Ta-Da! High class homeschooling! He looks so professional, doesn't he? :) |
The other 2 official homeschoolers worked on their "Honeybee Unit Study", which we are using for Science. I downloaded a bunch of really great worksheets and they watched the Nova "Into the Hive" series and also "The Magic Schoolbus, Inside the Hive". I worked on 800, 864, suppliment 3, and ds230 forms ALL MORNING long, so that I could rush them to the post office along with our signed LOA's!!! Oh, please pray they make it there safe and sound to Lifeline ASAP!!!
So, while I made lunch, Ansley and Aidan got resourceful with the boxes from Alex's desk and made a really great craft to go along with their bee pictures. They were so proud... And so was I!

| On the back: Surprise! A homemade honeycomb from the inside of a box! |
Since we are still waiting on more $$$ to finish our homeschool room, we will use the dining room in the meantime, which I actually really love because it is across the foyer from Matt & Alex.

Happy Homeschooling to all of you homey bloggers out there!

Looks like you are off to a great start even without the "formal" curriculum. Love the honeycomb!! :) Blessings, Jennifer
ReplyDeleteLove it Rebecca. If there's anything I've learned so far, it's that the kids do not need bells and whistles to learn :) We use our dining room for school. Of course I'm far from a seasoned homescool momma, and I only have 2, but it works for us! Best wishes for a great year.
ReplyDeleteI love "You've Got Mail"! :)
