I am linking up with Sue over at The Homeschool Chick.  She started this great link-up about what we did during our homeschool week.  Homeschool Mother’s journal is an awesome way of remembering how our week of homeschooling went.

In my life this week…
This week I worked on The Case of the Missing Mountain book review.  I have also been reading 2 other books for book reviews and one book for a book club.  As you can tell, I love to read!  My youngest daughter celebrated her 5th birthday and wanted me to bake her a cake.  It was a chocolate pudding cake with chocolate icing.  I also had the pleasure of helping out a friend by watching her 2 children for her on Friday afternoon.  we then had a wonderful supper together.  I love being able to help others out and to cook for people.

In our homeschool this week…
We actually got a lot accomplished this week.  My oldest is moving right along in her studies and enjoyed working on the workbook, The Case of the Missing Mountain.  My youngest son is working on 2 digit addition.  My youngest daughter is working on telling time.

Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…
While we didn’t go anywhere this week, we had friends to come over for a play date.

My favorite thing this week was…
Celebrating my daughter’s birthday was the highlight of the week.

What’s working/not working for us…
I will be looking for a math curriculum for my younger kids.  Previously, I have been using workbooks with them.

Homeschool questions/thoughts I have…
It is that time of the year that I start looking for new curriculum for the following  school year.  i am definitely thinking on making some changes for all 3 of my children next year.  My oldest will be in 8th grade, while the younger 2 will be in 2nd and 1st grade.  I have been looking at Tapestry of Grace as well as My Father’s World.  I know I still have plenty of time to prepare, but it will most likely take me several months to decide 100% of what we will use.

A photo, video, link, or quote to share…

I want to share a picture of my children on the day we celebrated  my daughter’s 5th birthday.  Since my oldest is 18, taking college classes and working part time, it has been hard getting pictures with all of my children together.  ðŸ™‚
