In our homeschool, we have 3 twelve week terms...or that is at least what we did this year. :) And today we finish Term 2. We've learned about the human body, and finished another phonics book (Aiden and Maverick). Aiden started learning subtraction and is doing very well and Maverick just started addition and is also doing well. Let's see, we are currently reading Little House in the Big Woods aloud and they like it. Aiden is reading a Boxcar Children book to himself and Maverick enjoys Frog and Toad and Amelia Bedelia books. Aiden enjoys his Reason for Handwriting and likes choosing who to send his special paper to each week. For Maverick, handwriting of any kind is the "bane of his existence." I am going to start a different program with him in third term to test it before solidifying the plan to use it next year. Got my fingers crossed. We just started a new Bible devotional that I think may actually be usable. So many Bible things are either to "storybook" and redundant and boring or far too "deep" for my boys....we may have finally found a happy medium. :)
Overall, it has been a productive winter...albeit a long one. With severe snow and ice storms and power outages (although we got off easy only losing for 24 hours), we have been cooped up for a large part of the last couple months it seems. We are ready for warmer days where we can go outside and play. I am ready to a garden and have big plans (I wonder how they will turn out). In the next term our science is going to be a study of plants (I planned that!) so I am ready for spring and plants and sunshine and time outside.
So we are taking the next 2 days off and will start the last term of this school year on Monday. Oh how time flies!!!
