I did some planning before the holidays hit us, but I still don’t feel completely prepared to go into January. It’s probably not as bad as it feels, though. Here’s the plan so far:
Preschool
A few weeks ago Daycare Boy decided he was too old to take a nap anymore, and Daycare Girl has followed suit. […]

It’s time to plan my next month, although it almost feels silly to do a normal plan for December when it is already so full of holiday “stuff”. But maybe that’s the perfect reason to start off with a plan…
Carbon’s School
We’ve already started getting lax about pulling out the school boxes everyday. Once again, I’m […]

This whole Earth Scouts experience is getting a little sour, unfortunately. It’s a really cool program, and I like the idea of it enormously. Carbon enjoys the badge process, and he’s still talking about scotch broom and excited about earning more badges.
But I started this project along with other people on the RE Committee of […]

It’s the first of November, and time for me to look ahead and plan another month! These planning posts may not be very interesting to you, but writing it all out here helps me to get organized, so I’ll do it anyway. (So there, faithful readers - see how selfish I really am?)
For Daycare:
Last month […]

My brother just had his Eagle Court, to receive an celebrate his Eagle Scout from the Boyscouts. It was a lovely event, and very important to him.
Many people have problems with the Boyscouts, and I can understand their reasons. I don’t plan on doing Boy or Girl […]

I’m pretty happy with the way Carbon’s tree has turned out - not quite what I had in MY head, but this is supposed to be his project after all. He had a lot of fun making it, and it does express his view of what a habitat is. Really, not bad for a 4 year […]

For every Earth Scout badge, there are three steps: 1)Inspire 2) Create 3) Act
I think of these as entries in their badge books:
1) What did I learn?
2) What did I make?
3) What did I do?
For our current badge, we did a group activity with yarn that created a food web in our circle of […]

We had our second Earth Scouts meeting last night, and it was a doozy for me. The plan for the meeting was to do the yarn “food web” activity that shows the kids how a food web connects the animals of an ecosystem, and then to get started weaving their badge belts. I had 7 […]

September is gone, and it really feels like October has come in with a cold and wet bang. So it’s definitely time for me to think about what we’re going to do this month! (Uh, maybe I should have thought about it a tad bit earlier, actually).
My sister’s school work:
J. is still doing human anatomy, […]

We had our first Earth Scouts meeting last Thursday. It went pretty well, and I’m hoping that the group will continue to move forward in a good, fun, and not-too-exhausting for me way.
More kids than I was expecting showed up. Two families from my church came, and four families from the local homeschool group came. […]
