A Homeschool Moms Journey, Week 7

The Homeschool Chick







In my life this week...Week 2 of Weight Watchers On Line - lost 9 pounds so far!  HOLLA!


In our homeschool this week... We had a great week this past week with starting our month long Dr. Seuss Lessons. We are incorporating so many things into his books...Science, Math, Geography, Social Studies and more!  Also started our units on Massachusetts (State of the Month), Cats (Animal of the Month and Bones.


Places we're going and people we're seeing...We stayed put mostly this past week, with the price of gas locally at $ 3.65, who can afford to go anywhere.. 8(   Church was really great today....loved the message of obedience - studying Adam and Eve in Genesis.




My favorite thing this week was..hubby got his yearly bonus this week and   my mother emailed me with a surprise, early Mother's Day gift (you have to know her to appreciate that, she is always coming up with some excuse to buy someone something..)  I am waiting on the arrival of a new Silhouette Machine!  HOLLA!


What's working/not working for us...in the homeschool area – Molly seems to be getting frustrated more and more with writing. I really don't want her to practice just yet, but she is determined and I had to see her struggle. She is not even 4 yet but wants to bad to be like her older brother...


Homeschool questions/thoughts I have...just love to see the way God is working in the family !
