Homeschool Lists and Our Day So Far

If you happen to read my childrens' homeschool lists for this school year (sidebar), don't be surprised if it is still changing. There are a few things I haven't gotten yet and I also change my mind, quite often. I've probably confused quite alot of people. ~sorry~

I was going to go with R&S math 7, because it is cheaper, but someone offered to let me borrow their Teaching Textbooks 7 and I like that better.

I love to let people borrow books, etc. But there have been times I haven't gotten things back which is frustrating. So, when I borrow I make sure I have the person's name written down to return it when I'm done.

That reminds me, I have dvd's to return today. ~smile~

Becca has started her schooling. She really likes the TT Algebra 2 and the Apologia Chemistry. Her EMT class should be done in October. She has learned alot and enjoys the ambulance runs. She hasn't been to a "major" accident yet. That should be interesting when she does. She will do a great job as she has been. She had told me that all the teaching of the human body since starting homeschooling has really helped her. We have done this every year. Now I will be doing this with Tom and the 2 girls. You never know what they will do/be later in life.

Katie informed me that she wants to be a vet so the human body course will help and I will start looking for animal lapbooks, books, etc. to do with her. I need to find good elementary biology for her and.....
Ana has a love for horses so learning all about the body and animals will help her also.

Not to sure about what Tom wants to do but this is a good start. Actually he loves history and Bible. Maybe he could be a missionary/pastor with a dr.'s degree. ~SMILE~

I took Katie and Ana to a new park today. We met some other homeschool families there. They attend the church we now attend. The church is so big that it is hard to know everyone. I'm so glad I met them. I need to met new people. We had a great time. Katie came home filthy! That's ok; the shower took care of that.

On another note; our tadpole now has two visible back legs. The kids are so thrilled to watch this turn into a frog...so am I. ;)

I didn't mention this but the goldfish we had died. Katie kept picking it up to pet it!! ~LOL~

I need to sign off. I really need to clean the bathroom. A job I would like to pass on to another...blah.

Have a Happy Day!
