The Weekly Wrap-up: Indoor Picnics, Brownies and Field Day

And it's Friday again.  Where do these weeks go?!  

I don't know about your homeschool, but it's getting harder to stay focused around here--what with the weather being so gorgeous and all!  It's a good thing that we're tapering off here towards the end of our school year.  Yes, I do plan to do some school through the summer even though it will not be our regular schedule.  Just enough to avoid summer brain drain :)  But we are wrapping things up and our schedule is not even full now.

Mr. B has completed his math and grammar for the year already.  I am keeping him on his toes with another math workbook a couple of days a week and also some math websites on the other days.  We are also continuing his grammar lessons on an every-other-day basis.  

The Princess has really finished her math for the year as well.  However, since we started using Singapore this year and they recommend starting one grade level down if you haven't used it before, I am actually having her do one extra book this year and next year, then she'll be exactly where she needs to be by then end of next year.  So even though she's completed the necessary 2 workbooks already, she is doing a 3rd workbook, as well as working on some math websites, too.  Math is one of her tougher subjects and she needs to stay in practice.  She is also finishing her last language arts study with Total Language Plus.  

Of course, we are still doing history and science together as a family.  We'll definitely continue those through the summer.   

The Princess had her very last Girl Scout meeting as a Brownie this week.  It's been a fun two years, but I think we are going to try something besides Girl Scouts this fall--perhaps 4H.  I would like to find something that both kiddos can enjoy and participate in.  

Today we enjoyed our homeschool group's annual Field Day.  The kids had fun playing some classic relay games and laughing at us parents when we also played one.  The weather couldn't have been more perfect for a day outside--it was beautiful!  And the company was great!  We have really been blessed with a great homeschool group here.

And now I am ready to enjoy the rest of my weekend.  I have a new book to read, some family fun planned for tomorrow, and beautiful weather to enjoy.  I hope you have a great weekend, too!
