Read Together Challenge

Posted in Blogging

The Read Together challenge has started over at Snapshot. Jennifer has challenged us to read a book with our children. “Select a book together. Read it together (out loud or independently).

She’s completed the first 3 books in the series, so I need to get started to catch up. We’ll be discussing the books once we’ve both read them.

A New School Year

Posted in Homeschooling, and Thoughts

It’s hard to believe, but we’re getting ready to start the new school year. Yes, I know that sounds odd considering most public schools just got finished with their year, but we homeschool year around. Why? Honestly, munchkin is better able to stay on top of things when there isn’t a long break in between learning periods. Also, we like to be able to take breaks as we see fit. Often this means, whenever Daddy is home, we’re not schooling. We can take time off whenever we have family in town or when we need to head somewhere. This allows…
