Only three more weeks!!

Three more weeks til we officially start school!!! And here is what we have been up to. We've finished our very first lapbook....so much fun and now we are off to our second one. Nate and Charlie chose sharks and Madi chose ducks. WE have officially decided to keep Mei home with us this year so I have been looking for fun educational games and activities for her to do. I have come across some file folder game templates that I am working on for her. I have the first six weeks laid out for lesson plans. Very roughly laid out. Just needed some goals to keep us on track. I am working on a daily schedule, but I have a feeling that it will be more trial and error than anything else. I have started reading to the the kids alot more. And have found that Charlie and Madi need a lower level than Nate. So I will probably start doing two differet read aloud times. Nate and I are reading Thirty One Clues book 1. And I read our library books to the others. I have found with mine that if they are interested in the book or if they choose the book then they will sit for a very long time to listen. So I am not going to be so picky about what I read to them or what they read for that matter. If we library it all year thats fine with me. Sonlight gave us a bunch of books, but the kids don't seem to be very interested in them right now. we will see later in the year.
