Welcome to our school!

Welcome!

I'm Carol, from Patchworkinthedesert.blogspot.com ! After some prodding and encouragement, I am starting a blog for our homeschool!  I had one going previously, at www.homeschoolblogger.com/coveredbygrace . I was using the

My Father's World curriculum, and many of its' users use that blog site.  I haven't written on that in a year. Ugh. I started my blog at Patchworkinthedesert.blogspot.com last summer.

We haven't been schooling on a ft basis for about 2 weeks. Our older kids are in public school and had finals the end of May/beginning of June.  Our oldest graduated from highschool on June 10th! He will be attending the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.  Hubby and I fly him in on June 29th! We're flying to Philadelphia, and will spend a day w/ my mom  & dad and brother with his family. We'll drive to Annappolis on June 30th, and be with him on Induction Day July 1st!

My heart is sad that he is moving on & out, but I know this opportunity is a blessing from the Lord and he needs to go.

Anyway... we will start a mellow summer schedule on Monday.  The children aren't happy about a summer schedule. However, they forget all the 'extra' days off we have during the regular school year.
