 2022-2023 School Plan Kindergarten Wee Bro will begin MFW Kindergarten. I will expand the curriculum to more unit studies (for eg, S-Sun will also do some summer unit) 5th Grade Baby Sis (and Lil Sis) will do MFW 1850 to Modern Times, focusing on the Story of the World and some activities from the Student Activity Book. I will add in some lapbook components from Homeschooling in the Woods  (Industrial Revolution, WWII, Civil War) but perhaps not as much as previous years. They will also finish the president and state study. For Science, Baby Sis will do Actions and Reactions from Guesthollow . For Foreign Language she and Lil Sis will probably continue with Little Fox.

We went back to regular school this year (instead of year-around, school a couple weeks, break a week like last year). In general, it was better received. Tot School...3K...Preschool... Wee Bro jumped a couple grades this year. Hahaha...At first it was just a for fun school, then he learnt the alphabet, numbers, and got really really geeky about them. So we kind of officially started some preschool work for him. Then after a bit, we realized he might have to begin kindergarten coming August. *GULP*. We used unit study and it was real fun for me (hoipefully him too) But this boy enjoyed a lot more worksheets than others, so we had some workbooks and worksheets. AND...the daily sheet. He loved that. 4th Grade and 7th Grade For the younger girls, we did Exploration to 1850. However, I added more of the Homeschooling in the Woods lapbook packs. I really like the materials.

 Spring Unit is SO fun. We read a book and found that we started on the BEST day. First day of Spring! These books are absolutely fun. WORKSHEETS This boy LOVES worksheets and he did quite a lot. CRAFTS AND ACTIVITIES We made this really easy card Love the fork tulips! Fun flowers! Rain in the jar counting rain We planted some seeds! (chia, I think) And we did a lot of walking observing and enjoying the buds. Bottle cap hyacinths When daddy went to Home Depot, the lady at the register found Wee Bro to be irresistably cut and gave him a planter kit. How fun!! He made it with me and we will ask a friend for some plants. FOODS Nests! Dirt pudding with strawberry carrot And...Wee Bro turned 4, on a wonderful spring day.

 The weeks went by in such a blur, as it always happened with the last weeks. The younger girls finished up the early 19th Century American History and did their lapbooks from Homeschool in the Woods .  Also, they finished their state study up to California (1850) and president study up to Zachary Tyler. Next year we will continue with the rest. Big Sis 9th Grade Big Sis also finished her World Geog, Chemistry, Foreign Language, and Geometry. She did a spectacular job!! I will do a year end recap post of our year.
