Homeschool Group

Next week our home school group that we are part of will be starting back up again after a summer that has seemed to last forever. I know Brenna is ready to get back to seeing her friends on a regular basis and I am ready to start back up with a schedule of things to do. Wednesday will be our first Report Day. Not sure if Brenna will be doing any kind of report, but it's fun seeing the other kids do theirs and then having pizza and playground time afterwards. The co-ops will start up again in October and it will be for 6 weeks. With the election going on this year all of the classes will be doing something related to Presidents, government, elections, etc... I will be in the Kinder/1st grade class again. Brenna is looking very forward to it - she had so much fun last year in the co-ops.

I've decided that we will be starting our math curriculum on Tuesday as well as working on writing and spelling. I have my shelf that I keep everything on all cleaned off and organized and ready to go. I also made a new board to put up Brenna's school work (good incentive because only her BEST work goes up there) and I also finally hung up our world map! I have been wanting to do that for so long but could not find a place for it. It will be used for our fruit and vegetable stickers - we'll start placing the stickers that come on the food to see where they are grown and where they come from. Hopefully that will escalate into her asking questions about the different countries and we'll do some geography things this year too. I really do wish I had an entire room just for home school stuff but oh well. Maybe one of these days. We have really been considering closing in our carport so maybe my existing computer room will become Brenna's school room eventually. I guess I'm not in too big of a hurry for that just yet. I'm sure it will be nice once she gets older though.

So pretty soon I will start posting pictures of our home school functions as well as writing more about what Brenna is doing and learning. I am also going to let her start writing more posts on here as well. She really, really wants her very own blog but I told her that she is going to have to learn how to spell before she can do that. Needless to say, she is very pumped up about her spelling lessons this year! LOL
