Wow! It has been busy around here! Obviously, since I haven't posted since April. I will hopefully find the time now to catch up around here and post some pictures of our activities. School is winding down. We had testing day on Tuesday with our home school co-op. Skyeler still has to finish up her history book (about four chapters), her literature book (about two chapters), and her science book (two modules). Aly is done for the most part. Both girls have geography posters to finish before our Home School Showcase the first Sunday in June. The girls will continue with math throughout the summer (as time allows). Aly needs this to cement her addition and subtraction facts before heading into multiplication next year. Skyeler will be trying a different approach to Algebra over the summer and then I'll reassess and see where we need to go with a curriculum for her in the fall.
Skyeler is already training for her volunteer job at the Mission's camp. Her job ... a Jr. Wrangler. She'll be working one or two days a week in the barn and doing games with the kids. One thing about Skye, when it comes to being around horses she's not afraid of getting dirty and she's not afraid of hard work (the fear of hard work only manifests itself at home ... weird!). Her first day is June 1st.
Aly is finishing up her second six weeks of tennis lessons. We'll be taking a break for the next six weeks since she would miss a couple weeks for trips to Granny and Papa's. I hope that they continue to offer this class, though, as she is really enjoying this. Now that summer is here, I need to get her out to the tennis courts and let her practice some. Currently she has a one track mind about getting a pool for the summer. A big one. I don't know what we'll be doing about that. :)
That's a little bit of a summary of what's going on. Over the weekend I'll be getting some pictures up of some of our field trips as well as just some around the house stuff.
