K's school page

If you haven't figured out the LINK to the side here you go. This is where I will POST k's school photo's and info going on with him dealing with school.

Classroom pages

If you are following K and his personal class work check out his class page.
His class page is devoted to just his work nothing more.

Our school page will be for everything else involved with our homeschool program and just an update from me on how schooling is going.

Week Before school

This week is busy and yet it's a week of relaxing for our student. No planned
activities for K but due to me needing to get things ready K is having to do a lot of running around. My plans are made for the next 3 weeks now it's just gathering all the supplies and Putting things in the right folder for next week. Now I am having fun as I am making all my example projects so getting to cut and paste and just have some fun activities to do while I sit in front of the TV on the floor cutting and pasting. Tonight will be file folder games for the next two weeks for our stations time. Then tomorrow I am hoping to get things all laminated and our bulletin board all put together. Wish me luck with all the stuff that I need to get down this week.

Oh yes I am crapped for time to get it all done as I was under the weather all of last week so lost a week of time to get this all done. YIKES but I'm feeling better now so that is a good thing.

7 Days until school starts



Student Photo's are Friday.

Our Homeschool

Yes if you didn't know this is our school page. Which our school is at HOME. Yeah we are at home but we still have a schedule. We get up and get dressed and say the Pledge and have bulletin boards that are all done up each week.

We go on Field trips at least once a Month to some fun educational location. Yeah we even have trips planed to Universal for our Dr. Seuss week. How fun is that going to be? We'll tell you when we're done with it. Maybe seems weird but they have a whole Dr. Seuss themed area and we'll spending the whole week learning about Dr. Seuss and then ending with this life size area at the theme park.

I am spending a quarter of my summer planning for this next school year. Writing out lesson plans and getting all the books needed and getting bulletin board supplies and setting up the classroom space etc. So yeah Homeschooling at our house isn't just you do school work when you want to but a set schedule that we plan our events around..OK Not the dentist as he only allows under 8 in the A.M. But all other appts., Playdates, shopping, sports etc. around our school schedule. We have an Uniform for when out on Field trips that say our school name on them. Why? Because I think it's important for Son to know that when he is in that shirt that this is more then just out and about that he is doing a school activity. And also let's others know that we are there doing a school activity. Some places actually ask that students where school gear or a name tag that states school and teacher for protection of students. Makes them stand out to the crowd of tourist. Yes even HOMESCHOOLERS. Yeah we only have 1 now but in the future our clan will grow and then my 2 eyes will have a Major job to do tracking all of them.
So yeah our Uniforms will help me as well to keep track of son/children. Might as well start from the start of the school years. Now we do wear the uniforms at home sometimes but not all the time. At home would be worn when Evaluator's are here or school video's are being filmed.

YES WE HOMESCHOOL AND YES WE ARE STRUCTURED
