For being a stay-at-home mom, my calendar sure shows me as busy and *away* from the home an awful lot. On a related note, anyone who still believes that myth that homeschoolers aren’t socialized are welcome to take a look at my calendar. Half of these calendar activities are Adrianna’s and she’s only 7. Today […]

Adrianna’s homeschool co-op started this past week. She was so eager for it to begin again that she was counting down the days. Now that she is in 2nd grade, we could choose the elective classes she takes. Here are the subjects she and I chose together: 1st Period: General Science 2nd Period: Computer Skills […]
Sound of Music
Watching The Sound of Music at Adrianna’s request. I am so glad she enjoys it. We were learning a little about monks and nuns today in history and when I was explaining about nuns to her I used that movie as an example so she could get a visual and tie it with something she’s […]

Olympics
Watching the Olympics’ Parade of Nations with Adrianna. We are having fun looking up the countries on our globe.

It is a beautiful area and the kids enjoyed climbing on the rocks afterward. We were pleasantly surprised to also bump into Adrianna’s […]
Denver Museum of Nature & Science
Our Pneuma homeschool group had a field trip to the Museum of Nature & Science. Adrianna was thrilled that many of her friends were in attendance, including Addie, Aubriana and Alexis. One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the mummies. After studying Ancient Egypt (one of our favorites in history this year), it […]
Cinnamon
Today we are reviewing synonyms in our English. Or “cinnamon”, as Adrianna calls them.
