Homeschooling in the Desert...

Welcome to our homeschool! We've been homeschooling since April 2007 - over 3 years now! We have 5 children and we homeschool the 3 youngest. At this time, they are 13, 11, and 10. We're finishing up 8th, 5th, and 4th grades. The purpose of our homeschool blog is to illustrate to our family and friends our chosen lifestyle... what we learn, how we learn, when we learn, etc.
Please feel free to follow along, to ask questions, to comment on our progress!

Breathe deeply!

After me being gone for a week, home one day, off camping w/ the family for 5 days... we are finally preparing for school.

The kids did math today, Chicklet getting through 5 lessons! WOW!

Hunk # 3 started Biology - we use Apologia. It's one of our fav. publishers. Very easy to use, to understand, and all the supplies needed for experiments are typically found around the house.

Hunk #4 has been reading 2 books, one on John Adams, and another one called The Iron Scout of the Confederacy.  He wrote a half page essay on John Adams and added an illustration.
Chicklet read more about Abigail Adams, and wrote 1+ pages about what she read today! Very good!

We also did some 'Life Skills' - i.e. laundry, dishes, making beds, etc.  House needs some attention!

We did our Bible too. We read Psalms 25 & Prov. 25.  I have 2 books for a Bible study, although we may end up just reading through the Gospels this year, over & over.

That's it for now. We'll add grammar next week, and maybe science.
