We are at that wonderful point in the school year when we can see the finish line and actually taste summer break. The boys have just a few more lessons in Science and History/Geography on CD (Switched on Schoolhouse) to do, and those are done without Mom. Bryan has a book to finish reading (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer) and quizzes on it, and that's all! Hooray!
Now I can focus on getting curtains ready for the new house, and packing up school things that we won't need until July...and trying to remember exactly where I put them!
The grand plan right now is to live in a travel trailer behind our new home until it is finished. This will
1) give the dogs a time to get used to our new address,
2) give the builder time to see us often and consider does he really want to drive this sweet family nuts by prolonging the building time, and
3) let us do a good unit study on insects (yuck I hate bugs).
In the latest edition of The Old Schoolhouse, there are several unit study ideas on insects. One of them does not require teacher mom to actually touch any bugs, so that's the one we will be doing.
