Our girls are now 11 and 8 going into 6th & 3rd, and they still look forward to starting school. (Did I mention that I look forward to school, too? I can't wait to start U.S. history this year.)
Love MFW . . .

May I share some activities from our Family Fun Night schedule with you?lovehomeschooling wrote:It seems like we always run out of things to do this time of year. The snow is too deep to play in. My 3 year old can't even walk in it. The kids are starting to go a little stir crazy from being stuck inside and so am I! During the week we have school, but we tend to run out of things to do with a whole Sat. Anyone have some fun family activities for this time of year??
What a fun idea! I like your idea of beginning the week with something fun rather than waiting for the end of the week.disneymommy wrote:I am SO excited about this idea. I have been thinking about all the fantastic movies (Planet Earth, March of the Penguins, documentaries about the countries) that we can watch along with ECC this year.
I have decided that every Monday night, we will have popcorn and fruit and snacks for dinner and watch a movie that goes along with our studies. I often save the "fun" stuff until the end of the school week, but I like the idea of doing something special on Mondays to kick off our week. I also try to get the house clean on Mondays most weeks, so I'm hoping it will be a motivation - get off to a good start with our schoolwork, do some housework and we get a fun night as a reward!
