I don't know why I want to keep a separate blog for their stuff when I can just include it on my regular blog...I'm just nerdy, I guess!
But Kayti is trucking right along with CORE. She has struggled some this quarter but still hanging in there and I'm proud of her efforts.
Brooke is currently taking a break from the workbooks and doing a unit study on Christmas. We are studying the symbols of Christmas, doing some in-depth Bible reading, Christmas-related math, spelling, reading and journaling and LOTS of crafts! I've even found some Christmas related Science! How cool is that?
This break in the curriculum gives me a chance to figure out which direction I want to go with her next semester. I'm thinking of taking a few different approaches and broadening our horizons a little bit more. Well, that's the theory anyway. You know the month of December will give me SO much time to figure all this out, right? Ha!
Co-op finished up the week before Thanksgiving (for us, anyway) and I have decided to do Felicity next semester and that's IT! I sort of feel guilty for not teaching a class for Kayti but God has really been dealing with me about cutting back some of our "stuff". I knew I would not be able to get away with not teaching another American Girl class. But I'm not offering to teach anymore than that. Pray for me--this not volunteering to do anything and everything is new territory for me!
Kayti is planning to audition for the Spring play and the Broadway revue so she has her little plate full, too. I almost didn't say anything to her about it but guilt got the better of me since Brooke did the play this year, I didn't want to deny her the opportunity. And there are so few FREE activities, I hate not to take advantage of the experience. Our homeschool group is awesome!
Tomorrow, we have a field trip! We are going to see the Nutcracker! Our dear friends, the Sizemore girls are performing and we are so excited for them. It's also been several years since Kayti and I have seen it and Brooke never has. Kayti was 3 when I took her and she sat there mesmerized. All she would say is "she's beautiful!" and that sealed her fate as an aspiring dancer! I can't wait for us to see it again!
I finally got the blog for the homeschool group updated and done the way I want it. I hope this improves communication for our sub-group! We had the best time at our "feast" and are looking forward to our Christmas party next week. Check it out HERE if you are so inclined!
Kayti has a party tomorrow night with the "teens" and surprisingly, she wanted to go! I can't believe my daughter is almost a teenager. God help me!
I probably won't update again before the New Year so have a blessed holiday!
Merry Christmas from the crazy Quick girls!
