Learning can be fun!

So it this last 5 week of science we are studying space and what is used to look up at it. Well telescopes use reflection; what better way to learn about reflection than to play the game Laser Beam! It actually is a fun game and I am sure we will use it for other things, but for now this is our fun time. I think it was the only day this week that I didn't hear "I hate school"this week! So yay for me! I also found books on the mid Atlantic states at the library that we will read through next week

I am slowly (like turtle slow)figuring out how to incorporate other resources to help learn. I am also realizing that it is easier with some subjects than others. .lol

Omg!it had been a year?

Well I am really slacking! So I will just do cliff note version. ..

JD is third grade but second gr for spelling which I think wad a good move. Switched curriculum again but works much better for us so I think I found the right one. It goes like this :
3rd grade
Language-horizon
History-life pac
Science-sonlight
Math u see alpha at end of it
2nd grade
Writing
Spelling
Both are horizon
Doing a lot better and feeling like we have a routine which consists of school only 4 days instead of 5 and use Friday as make up day. .still sometimes challenging with a toddler now but we are getting the knack.  You will see that I used color for calendar months so hopefully baby V will eventually pick up on this as she grows. (Never to young to start right? )also for history started a chat of capital and stays to review each day;it is amazing how much I am learning along with my son in all of this!
