So much for having time to blog daily, I'm having a difficult time just getting in a blog by the week! Oh well, such is life!
All is great, we are still plugging along. This little boy has been doing extremely well this school year. He has his moments, as every child! But he is still loving it.
Math is going well, we should be through lesson 70 by the end of the week. I can't say enough good things about Saxon! : )
English is going well, I'm hoping to add R & S by January, I think it'll be very beneficial.
I'm still adding Writing with Ease, Level 4 soon. Just haven't picked it up yet.
He finished "The Hobbit", and wrote the report last week. He LOVED that book, which I knew would happen. He also finished "Jackie Robinson", will be writing that report tomorrow. This week he will be starting, "Oliver Twist".
He's about done with one workbook for Science. We're still working on the unit about the human body, and have more projects to do before we move on from that.
Still doing U.S. History, will probably add SOTW2 very soon. He keeps asking about it. (YAY!)
Art lessons are going well, he looks forward to them every week. He's very proud of his work, and gives himself extra projects to work on in between lessons.
We have a recital coming up, so lots of practice this week in music!
Goals:
*Need to start typing program soon
*Have him do more in Nature Journal, alongside "Handbook of Nature Study". (I would love to carve time out for myself to do this, as well.)

Week 7!
Birthday party was GREAT. The Bean and one of his friends had a meltdown after partying all day, and staying for dinner.....so that tells me it MUST'VE been a good one!! haha
Okay, on with week 7! I can't believe it's going by this quickly!
We are still moving along nicely, and the Bean is doing great in everything. He's still begging to start SOTW 2, but we're trying to get some U.S. History in. He has said, "I LOVE History, can we please do some more lessons today?!?!?". This was such a wonderful thing to hear!! Who knows, maybe I'll just do both. That's an advantage of homeschooling! (I STILL need to put up our timeline, I'm just having trouble figuring out how...)
Saxon Math is still going so well, I LOVE this curriculum!! The other day I heard the Bean say, "Math is one of my favorite subjects now!".......THAT is why I love this curriculum! So thankful for it. By the end of this week, we'll probably be in lesson 62ish. I've been taking it a bit slower, and adding more outside worksheets. I don't want to be done with math before the schoolyear is over.
English is going well. He's still moving along nicely. I'm still wondering if I need to add R and S, but I have plenty of time to do that in the Spring if needed. He is currently reading, "The Hobbit".
We are still studying the human body, and he's loving it. I found a really good website that has some fun videos to go with this, he loves them.
I mentioned in an earlier post that I'd love to find an outside source to give him art lessons. Out of nowhere, one of my friends said she is now giving art lessons!! SCORE!!! He started them this week, and is SO excited about them. (In exchange, I'll be tutoring her son in Spanish.) He was so excited about his lesson that he woke me up around 5:45 a.m., panicking, and saying, "Momma!! It is VERY foggy outside, we'll still get to go to my art lesson, right?!?!" .......Yes, son. hahaha
Which reminds me, I still have big goals for this boy and Spanish. We've incorporated a little bit more, I need to go ahead and start putting labels on everything in the schoolroom, that would help tremendously.

Maybe someday when I am able, I'll post reviews on what has/hasn't worked for us throughout the years. I'd love to do that, just need to have the time.
