We spent spring break skiing and rock climbing. I kept thinking this could be our last official school spring break. It was a little strange, but that didn't keep us from having a great time. All three kids are skiing wonderfully and I was so pleased with their climbing. We did the same climb at Smith Rock we'd done last August and it was amazing to see how all three had improved both with their skills and in the younger two, their fear levels.
Unfortunately I got sick when we got home so I've been fighting whatever it is. I finally went to the doctors today. Sinus infection. At least I can take antibiotics and start feeling human again. But it's really thrown a wrench in all my plans.
On the homeschool front, I'm making more decisions about curriculum. Here's a couple of new things I've decided on:
1) History
Although I love Tapestry of Grace, in order to simplify things next year, I bought Biblioplan instead. It comes with a three day a week schedule which uses Story of the World 1 and has corresponding bible reading. That is exactly what I'd wanted.
2) Spelling
I actually about two things. All About Spelling and Simply Spelling. I want to use AAS to get the kids spelling where it should be. They would be considered unnatural spellers. And then we'll use Simply Spelling once they have a better grip of things.
Now my big task is to get it all organized! I think I need a FlyLady for homeschoolers to help me out.
