I don't think I've written since I started homeschooling. I've been feeling really good about it. I found a nice reading program called Five in a Row. Basically, we read the same classic book for five days, and explore it fully. The lessons involve maps, art, history, literature, math, and science.
I try to blend low tech and high tech learning. Sometimes we do basic low tech writing and hands-on work, but we use Google Earth quite a bit for mapping. I try to show them pictures of places around the World, and go to museums when possible.
In addition to the subjects I teach such as reading, math, science, and social studies, they are also enrolled in the following school-offered programs: Spanish, Science Club, Reading Club, Drama, Circle Time, and various other field trips and workshops. In addition to all of that, they go to Chinese School once a week, and Boo is enrolled in soccer. I'm still driving too much, and looking for things to cut out. I just hate them to miss an opportunity.
Well, time to go finish that model we are building of a dinosaur, and eat lunch!
