Count down!

We are counting down the days until school! I think A got to the board, lol.

A few of our friends birthdays were on Friday, so I had F and the girls that I watch make some cards for them. I wrote this on the board to help with spellings. 

Here is F with her card. 

We went to the parade in town, celebrating the start of the fair. I thought I would get a little chalk board practice in before we went. 

Here is F watching a friend of ours son in the band. 

A and I just watching everything go by.

After the parade I finished up my planning till December. Except for "nature season weeks" which are really holiday weeks lol. Like I have the Autumn Equinox week free, it's also A's birthday week, then Halloween week is open for prepping for Halloween/Samhain and Dia de Los Mueros. Then we are doing regular lessons thanksgiving week, because we don't really celebrate it. Then in December I have two winter weeks open, for Winter solstice/Yule and Christmas holidays. I am also doing 2 weeks in March for spring, Spring equinox, Easter and F's birthday. So our nature focused season weeks are really holidays that we still have learning, but not main lessons. 

Well we start the 31 and I will post what I can when I can. The first two weeks are form drawing, this site can explain form drawing better than I can.The Waldorf Connection

Beginning our homeschool trek.

Making this a private blog for my family and friends to visit and see what we do on our homeschool days. We are a Waldorf inspired homeschool family, we also toss in "living books" and Montessori practices when we feel it. At the moment I am just planning out everything, trying to hammer out all the details. I am hoping to get all my planning done before the weekend, so we can enjoy the last week of summer!
