This week and lesson planning

Well we only did school for 2 days this week but the kids learned about the sun and started working on learning the things we will work on this year.

I just finished 5 hours of lesson planning for Bubby and Baby Girl, and for the Co-Op class I am teaching.

That is one of about 10 weeks I completed planning for with those two.  Now to get Princess and Fairy all set up.

 

Lifes Little Crazy's

We were suppose to start learning today.  We did not all do to life's little crazy's.

We have been setting up the classroom and unpacking everything for the last month, or at least trying too.  I still am missing things I need for this year and I know it must be in the garage in a box. 

We were going to work around the clock this past weekend to get it done and the kids let our cat out.  We have had her for 4 years, her entire life and my son's as well, so instead of unpacking we were on a cat hunt.  Thankfully she was found Saturday evening. I was then reminded that we had previously agreed to help some friends of ours so we needed to do that instead. 

So needless to say we are not starting school today.  Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day to start.

I am back!

We have been moving and it has been crazy.  We are far from almost unpacked and I have to finish up atleast the school room this week.

I finished next week's lesson plan.  It is going to be just like I wanted to do without the charter schools.  We start back at CAVA and Greater San Diego Homeschool Academy (GSDA) in August.  Princess has decided to go to San Diego Homeschool Academy.  Fairy really wanted to stay with CAVA.  I am not so ok with Fairy's choice, but I can make it work.  She will learn lots of new things and besides making me a ton of extra work it is not a bad curriculum.

I am hoping that GSDA will work well with us and get Princess challenged and keep her that way.  If not we will be moving away from public charters and strike out on our own.  I am a little scared and a lot excited about that.

Since I last blogged, we got a bearded dragon.  He is adorable.  We also rescued a baby kitten.  She is a pain, but no one will take her and the shelters are full of kittens so they can not take her either.  So I guess we have another cat who will probably forever be named Kitten.

We also found a Co-Op/playgroup.  It is a Christian one, which may cause problems, but only because my husband is not a Christian and wants to be involved.  We will have to see how that plays out.  I have volunteered to teach the littlest children who are ready for school to read and do early math.  I am really excited.  That does not start till Sept. though so I have a lot of time to plan.

Bubby and Baby Girl can not wait for school to start.  They ask everyday if it is school time.  I told them not till next week.  I am just going to do a few small things with them and give them worksheets.  But they do get to be a little more active in school this year.
