Homeschool Review: Week Ending 2/7/14

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

It’s hard to believe that we’re getting ready to head into the second week of February. Where has time gone? This month has found us finishing up some homeschool subjects/curriculum while starting others. Munchkin wrapped up her Analytical Grammar studies this week. She found that who and whom are not her friends, but otherwise did quite well with her final. We’ll be continuing to review grammar with the Analytical Grammar Review and Reinforcement book. We may use one of their High School Reinforcement books next year, but I haven’t decided yet. She’s continuing with her Biblical Archaeology studies which she…

Today was one of those days for Munchkin and myself. Early this morning, we headed over to meet up with a equine dentist so he could show us how teeth floating was done on horses. Each of our horses had their turn with the dentist. Munchkin even had the opportunity to give it a try on her horse.

Establishing a New Routine

Posted in Family, Homemaking, and Homeschooling

We’re still getting settled into the new place even though we’ve been here a little over a month now. I was on track to have the house completely unpacked and organized on record pace until we started volunteering at the horse rescue. You see, we were immediately drawn into helping there as there is so much that needs to be done. Both Munchkin and I really enjoy our time there even though it is hard work. Because of this, we’re still trying to find a good schedule that works for us. Right now, we’re working/volunteering at the ranch between 4…
