Life pacs

Ahhh a new found love.

I have started using the Alpha Omega life pacs this year and both the kids and I are enjoying them. It allows me to continue to work on my books and allows the kids to learn to be more independent.

Here are just a few of the subject we will be using from Alpha Omega and then we will still use my Literature Unit Studies only because I love writing them so much. :-)

I do hope everyone is enjoying the school year so far. Be blessed

Simple struggles

I know that everyone has struggles during the school year. One of the kids not wanting to study, do handwriting ... something. But we have a few more struggles then that as well. My health isn't as it used to be (still trying to take care of problems) and therefore the children are learning to be a little more independent in their studies. I am enjoying the Lifepacs we started this year and I think the kids are too.
I hope all the moms out there that think they CAN'T homeschool because of health issues, stubborn kids, whatever!, will see that it IS possible and can be done. Seek God's wisdom., He is there for you and will show just how to manage things.
I thank God everyday that I am able to see, hear, breath, and spend time with my children. If it weren't for homeschooling them I wouldn't see them 1/4 of the time I do now. Grab onto them, they are your children, teach them what you want, what they want., and most of all what GOD wants them to learn. It IS POSSIBLE!

Be blessed everyone!

Organizing

Not one of my better qualities. Why couldn't I be one of those people that is just blessed with organizational skills? Instead I got Creative Clutter Capabilities! :-(

I am spending today in the office mutteling through old lesson planners, old school books, unit studies, you name it. Hoping to make room for what we will be working from this school year! I have so many things from ... gosh... fourth grade even!! I think it is time to part with some of it! :-)

Well, to all those out there that have started lessons, bless you! For those of us that are lagging behind another week.... GOD HELP US!!!!

Preparing for the First Day of School @ HHA

Well here we go another year of schooling at home. I am so looking forward to it as I hope the children are too.
We are taking a bit of a different turn this year as we are going to use Lifepac's by Alpha Omega as well as my self writen Unit Studies for Literature and Math U See. Our first Unit Study will be taken from the book The Lost Island of Tamarind by Nadia Aguiar. THIS is what I look forward to the most. hehe
It is taking a little bit of extra time to plan on my part as I am not used to things being writen out for me! Gosh you would think it would be EASIER if it is all laid out for you. NOT. I guess I am just a complicated individual.
We will be beginning our lessons this year on Sept 13th. The prospective finishing date will be late June. I really hope this year will be easier for all of us and I pray that the Lord bless each and every one of you that have choosen to TEACH YOUR CHILDREN AT HOME.
Blessings to us all!
Well folks, stop by often to share our Adventures!
