So we're back in the schoolroom tonight hiding from the storms. There's been so much rain that our county cancelled school due to flooding. We spent a lot of time watching the news but discovered it was making everyone more upset so we headed down for another craft project. We've already painted today but now the girls are playing with clay while I catch up on the computer.
We had a nice Monday despite the thunder and not much sleep last night since everyone was afraid. This is the last week we'll be working on Greek gods and Connie and Belle will present their projects. We're going to study Maryland and South Carolina, the 7th and 8th states. We have some fun fall activities scheduled since tomorrow is the first day of Autumn and we'll be starting a science unit about the moon. Yom Kippur starts Sunday so we'll be talking about that all week as well as our regular bible lessons.
Everyone started chapters in math after our Math Basics break last week, which was filled with worksheets, games, math races and brain teasers. Connie is working on fractions with measurements, Belle is doing place values in the billions and trillions, and Lucy Clare is working on more addition facts and word problems.
The thunder is down to a low background noise but the storm tracker says the worst is still to come. I'd better think of something more distracting than clay. Everyone is already planning to sleep in my room with me-what a lot of togetherness today!

Sounds like a great plan! I am beginning to think I won't be considered smart after a few more lessons in home schooling. Right now the girls think I am rather clever but they will probably find out the truth soon. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I just didn't know they had such good home school teachers.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you need a field trip to South Carolina! I know the perfect place to stay.
