PEeeeeeee
More snow, warm temps, and kids feeling better has equalled tons of outdoor time.
And, the energy doesn't stop indoors either.
Aren't they ingenious?!

Health
We have been in a weird season. Our school year has not been as smooth and organized as usual. (Have I said this before?) We are having a lot of days off for health concerns. After being sick, with the flu this time, we have been able to get in a good groove. Finally! It is nice, and it is good, to step back and simplify what every child needs. I can now see where we need to go to build each child's strengths, as well as weak spots. Onward. This busy mom is also re-reading the first homeschool book that encouraged me on how to go about things. I am sure it will spark old ideas that I have forgotten in the chaos....

Onward
We are back into school today. This Mamma is processing what we need to focus on and what we need to throw out the door. Gemma needs to take a break from her readers and work on letter blends. I think Aiden will need to work on writing more. Keiran, he will be good if we round out the review of letters continually. Everyone is progressing in Math. And, for Socials and Science, we need to work more fully to catch up our curriculum and make it routine.
This has been a weird year. We are usually very organized and steady, with the occasional needed break. This season has been a bit unsteady and it feels like we are stumbling forward. We haven't been able to fine tune because life keeps getting thrown at us. It has however been a time to simplify and let go of some unnecessary expectation.
I already am getting a feel for what we will need regarding curriculum, for next year. And this coming next few months will let me know how we will be doing school then too. (Another story, another time.....)
