End of School Coming Up!

We've been working hard all week to make summer come faster. How are we doing that, you ask? Well, we're homeschoolers, we've got flexibility and authority! Whoo hoo!

So we are compressing the last several weeks of our scheduled curriculum into this week and next week so that we will be all done with this school year before Memorial weekend. My reason for this is partly because both I and the kids are getting antsy with school but also because we have been invited to a Memorial weekend ranch party, and I KNOW it will be hard to get back into the "last few weeks of school" mindset again. I'd rather get back to a "let's play now and clean up and let Mom get her schoolwork done" kind of mindset instead when we return from several days of fun and frolic.

We've done well this week so far. In fact, we have added in many resources since we started using the CM Organizer so we are doing more than several weeks worth of work in two weeks! I know it stretches the kids' patience and is not very CM . . . but it's necessary for our sanity to get some boredom time in too.

They won't be bored for too long, however, since they are signed up for three weeks of VBS and/or Cub Scout Day Camp during our break. Additionally, the Kitty Cat is signed up for three weeks of introductory sports with the Transformer signed up for basketball training. I'm waiting on signing him for the basketball season because it doesn't look like there are many people signed up yet. In fact, only one person is registered for his league right now. Those are the only things they have going for sure over the summer. Otherwise, we will go to free summer movies, storytimes at the museum and library, swimming, and whatever else may turn up. In the meantime, I am hoping to get a lot accomplished for my own studies so that I can be up and running for a profit soon!
