adventures in homschooling begin

well we've actually been doing this for a month now. just playing it by ear...not following a set curriculum although i do have some books and a project.

i've got a wildelife unit study that we haven't touched, a third grade science book, a 5th grade english book and we're studying a different state every week. so far we've done Wyoming and Kentucky. i've learned some neat things but Miss O isn't so enthusiastic. we start Florida monday and she picked it so we'll see how it goes.

i'm learning about lap-booking so maybe i can incorporate that into the states project

we got a lot of books at the library today and i found some about florida with lots of pictures. 2 books about the state overall, 1 about the everglades and 1 about the seminoles. also some picturebooks one by nancy willard coled the goodnight blessing book and one about george washington, patrick henry, john hancock, and tom henry. laura ingalls wilder's the first four years, unconditional parenting, playful parenting, 123 magic, and beverly cleary's autobiagraphy. i can't belive how awesome the library is. i know its weird but i had forgotten how awesome it is.
