Wednesday

 

So what does Homeschooling look like in our house?  Well, here are a few pictures taken around 11:30am.  Our morning starts around 10:00am with poetry, a read aloud, and sometimes piano flashcards.  This is also the time when we do some Sunday School type talking or just chit chat. 

After our morning meeting we usually have Latin and maybe Art Study (de Hooch is our current artist) or other “Fine Arts” type activity.  Then comes the kids independent work…..

Heidi is reading from one of her history books….Augustus Caesar’s World.  This is HER spot at the breakfast bar!!  You are taking your life in your hands if you sit there!  Brat.  I give her no end of crap for being so possessive.  LOL

Here is Gretchen getting herself some lunch.  Algebra I is much easier on a full stomach.  LOL

Eli likes to read his History and Literature in his room.  With all that glorious light, I can’t say that I blame him.  He’s reading George Washington’s World.  I have to slow him down sometimes….he likes to read waaaaay ahead of schedule.  Nice to see the enthusiasm, too bad it doesn’t bleed over to Latin. 

This is our homeschool bookcase.  The girls share the top and second bookshelf.  Eli owns the third bookshelf down and the bottom bookshelf is mine.  our school year is almost two thirds over, we end in late June, so many of the books have been finished and transferred to the basement bookshelves. 

Buster stretching for the camera.  He spends most of his day requesting to go out…….and come in…….and go out……and come in……..and go out………come in……….go out………..come in……….. he bugs us, but he’s cute.

 

Finally, here is Kipper.  Kipper is the grand old gentleman of our school.  He will be 13 years old in June or July.  He hasn’t moved off of the couch yet today.  Sooner or later his bladder will tell him it is time to wake up.  LOL
