November in our homeschool

December 6, 2018December 6, 2018 by annieandfam

November was a good reminder of the gifts of homeschool, though it really didn’t feel like it at the time. We were hit with illness after illness in November and struggled to maintain our usual rhythm. I had to remind myself that it was a gift that we were home. Because we are home we …

Thoughts on needing (and asking for) help

October 21, 2018October 21, 2018 by annieandfam

Last year was a challenging year. In October our baby – our third child – turned one and somewhat overnight went from a sweet, amiable baby to a really needy, challenging toddler.

Starting a Harry Potter fractions block with this cutie! 🪄
Getting away for five days by myself has opened up a new way of seeing things and imagining what’s possible. Today this guy and I wanted to go for a hike but nobody else did. So I left the girls to do their school work, which they managed beautifully while I was away, and he and I snuck away to look for deer prints in the mud. It’s super hard to get one-on-one time in our current season of life but this felt really good.
My 9-year-old recently wrapped up a block on Chinese shelters. I just love this block and its mix of fairy tales, geography, history and hands-on projects. He got to dabble in Chinese calligraphy, made a Mongolian yurt with wool felt and a traditional Haaka dwelling from Southern China with clay. Now he and I are working on wrapping up Hebrew stories with the hope of switching to fourth grade work in mid-March. 🥰
The colors & textures of Joshua Tree. 🫶🏻
I planned a February trip to Joshua Tree National Park envisioning winter sunshine but instead I’ve been in a desert snow globe the whole trip. It’s not what I was planning on; it was way better. It’s my understanding that snow in Joshua Tree is extremely rare and to have experienced it for the past few days has been really special. ❄️
