Archery Fun!


We are just having a blast! The boys started their archery classes and my great news is my oldest daughter A has decided to join.Which if you don't know my girly,girl she does not do sports and this is the very first sporty thing she does.It is wonderful.!This is a pic of the boys first day of class.I will try to post up a more current pic of all them next posting.Our homeschool year is off to a good start ,so far so good.We are expecting our new curriculum to come in the mail soon.We are using Abeka for science,english and some supplementals for health.Then for math we use saxon and for SS we use Bob Jones.So it should be fun.Abeka we love because it can be used freely and doesnt require any comittment to the textbooks.It can be done independently and well as together.They give tons of opportunity for hands on projects which is what we like.Well ,now for more current lessons,this weeks science experiment is going to be Growing Edible Crystals by;Belinda Mooney.The project can be found on www.learningtreasures.com I love this site.This project is so simple and yet takes days,lolol!But should be fun none the less.We will try to put up pics of the results after we are done.Well hope you all check the site she is great.And enjoy the fun!!!Blessings.

Fresh Homeschool Year

Hi everybody,
Sorry I have not blogged in a while.I just wanted to share some very in expensive crafts we purchased at Micheals craft store here in NY. They were these adorable pompom insects.We used them for our science lesson.each of my kids choose an insect of their liking.My boys choose spiders,of course cause their boys,and my girls choose a lady bug and bumble bee,of course cause their girls.Well they came out great and needed close to no tools to make.The package came with all the tools needed except glue.It was great.Took about half an hour to make.They turned out wonderful.I will post pictures this week.The totel cost for each bug was about $2 each.I think that was the best part.Well talk to you soon.Blessings.
