Calhoun Field Trip

Our homeschool group organized a field trip to Calhoun Produce and my sister and her kids were able to join us! In the spring Calhouns offers a pick your own strawberry patch, but in the fall they have a very large corn maze to get lost in.

look at the alligator!

We separated into groups for the corn maze, Jessica and I, along with the 4 babies were in a group with Skylar, Maddox, other big kids their moms, but the babies were moving too slow, and we let the rest of the group move on without us. We were enjoying ourselves until we realized that we were lost and the babies started melting down because they were tired! I'm not sure how long our group waited for us to get out, but when we finally emerged from the corn field we were told that they were thinking of sending out a search and rescue lol. I'm glad we made it out, and though the babies were getting tired we still had a lot of fun exploring.

The field trip ended with Calhoun's pig races.

Back to School 2015-2016

September 1st was our first day back to school! This is our 3rd year homeschooling and we are still loving it. We hit a milestone this year with Skylar entering middle school! 

We use Classical Conversations for our curriculum and as a social homeschool group. We meet with our group every Tuesday from 9am to 3pm with other families and tutors. Every Tuesday we start our morning off with prayer, bible time, the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Bible. Classical Conversations provides us with our History, Science, Geography, Grammar, Bible memory work, Latin, Art, and Music. For Math we use an online program called Easy Peasy, this program provides video instructions, worksheets, quizzes, and math games. Skylar and Maddox are also taking guitar and piano lessons from the music director at our church. Skylar will take up horseback riding lessons this year and Maddox will continue with wrestling.

Our Foundation Classical Conversations group grades kindergarten through 6th grade

Our Essentials Classical Conversations group grades 4th through 6th.

On Tuesdays while the big kids are working with their classmates on memory work, Mason and Josiah are just down the hall in their preschool class. At home Mason and Josiah are working on their ABCs, numbers, shapes, and colors.
