I haven't blogged in a while because we have had house guests and Sarah was at Girl Scout Camp. Unfortunately, she was at camp during the heat wave which was a little challenging.
I am stealing a few minutes until our next house guest arrives (grandma). We are so excited! I am a little surprised that my Mother, Sarah's Grandmother, has been pretty supportive of homeschooling. She is from a different generation and I am sure has some preconceived ideas about Home school families. She is not alone. I recently met a Mom who homeschools and I was surprised how cool she was and how much we related. So, even I harbor some of those prejudices.
We are nearing the stretch and although we haven't gotten as much done this summer as I had hoped, We did do a fair amount of reading and assessment. As I am reminded daily, It is Summer. My goal is to finish the American Revolution in early September. It will culminate with a trip to New England to see my oldest daughter and to visit Boston. We got a great price on a flight because we are so flexible now. I feel a little like we are playing hooky..going to Boston in the school year in the middle of the week. Hopefully this will be one of many trips that we can take that can combine learning and family time.
