HSMJ - An invitation to you ...

In my life this week…
I'm really struggling to find my rythm with the new day for this linky each week.  There has been a lot going on in my world. I'm looking forward to rediscovering my rhythm ...

In our home school this week…
  • We've enjoyed some great time reading our books from Sonlight. We finished Charlotte's Web .
  • This week we had some struggles with Math.  It was good because I realized that Sir N needs some more practice with his math facts.
  • Science has been fun too. We are enjoying learning about the different animals found on different continents around the world in The Usborne World Of Animals .  We are exploring North America this week.
  • See How It's Made has been interesting too.  I learned what a 'penny lick' was and together we learned about ice cream production etc.
  • Sir N enjoyed creating an entry for the Lego Challenge this week.
Helpful homeschooling tips or advice to share…

  1. Chloe wants to do French too - but I'm holding off at the moment because I haven't found anything at the lower primary level that I thought might work for us.

    I have thought about Memoria Press { they do a French course } but it's geared for a little older. { 6th grade from memory }

  3. Woohoo. Looks like you are just a bit ahead of me in Sonlight B. I love it. The kids, too! I was part of the Trim Healthy Mama group on FB but got off. I never really understood how it worked -- maybe I just wasn't ready to lose the last few pounds. Its quite popular. Have you tried that drink...what was it Oblong Tea of sorts?
