Last week (school wise) was rough. I’m so glad it’s over. She struggles with two of her subjects. Since starting Teaching Textbooks three
years ago, she has encountered her first real roadblock in understanding the
material as it was presented to her. I’m
so thankful for Kahn Academy! A
four-minute video helped her finish her lesson. Saturday, my husband spent sometime reviewing the material
presented. She documented her feelings
with the following photos:
History is a challenge too. I’m thinking that she’s just not enjoying
learning about early explorers.
Currently, she is studying the 1500-1600’s. I hope, hope, hope that she will enjoy it more when we start
learning about the Revolutionary War & Colonial America.
The week wasn’t a total loss. A friend of mine and I from church swapped kiddos
for a couple of hours Tuesday. Rosie
went with our friends to a field trip in the Great Smoky Mountains. Their daughter hung out with us
for the afternoon. Our first stop was
at our favorite coffee house. Then it
was on to our house to finish school stuff and play “hang out”.
Earlier in the week, Rosie decided to paint a
picture for her art teacher. I don’t
have a picture of the final painting, but she had fun. There’s a certain amount of whimsy to this
project & she enjoyed the process.
I was glad to see the end of last week. I’m so thankful for the new week! After church, we had some new friends over to eat lunch with us. We had a
lovely time. All of the troubles of the
previous week melted away as we enjoyed a meal together, wonderful weather
(dined on our screened in back porch!), fire in the fire pit, smores, and
Spikeball!
Just wanted to share our week! It gets hectic and frustrating at
times. I don’t always see homeschool
unicorns and rainbows. No link ups this
week.
Thanks for stopping by!

At least you stuck it out! Last week, I posted as my Facebook status that the day was awful lest everyone think it was all rainbows and lollipops over here! I got probably more comments than usual. We all go through it. Just keep pressing on!
we love TT here, too... but we also have our days in which it's not explained in a way that we need to hear it in order to understand completely. yay for wonderful friends, yes? ;)
