This is a two week update! Mamaw and Granddaddy came to visit last week, so there was no time to write our report. We headed to the NC State Fair last Friday. The highlights included the kiddie rides, the ferris wheel, face paintings, milking a cow, and deep-fried Oreos. A great time was had by [...]

We started Monday morning with only one tablespoon of peanut butter, two waffles, and ten goldfish crackers. I guess I failed miserably in the planning/preparation department. It was a long day. Sassafras (1st Grade): This week Sassafras completed week 9 of Tapestry of Grace Year 1. We are now at the end of unit 1. [...]

The rain brought us some cooler weather this week. We took a walk/bike ride/tricycle ride/stroller ride on Tuesday night. Sassafras was little Miss Confident. The Z-man said “Yay! This is fun! I’m not falling off!” (The last time we let them ride on this trail, he had a major wipe out.) Little Man “Fred-Flintstoned” the [...]

Well, the first day of fall in North America was this week. How did it go for you? Sassafras had really pumped herself up about it. “I can’t believe the first day of fall is this week! I’m so excited!” I guess that’s what I get for putting a calendar in her room. She handled [...]

This is an update for weeks 5 and 6. Last week was total craziness that culminated with Doodlebug’s cast change last Friday, so our weekly report just didn’t happen. I think we’re back on track now. Enjoy! Sassafras (1st Grade): I’m just going to give a brief recap of our school accomplishments for the last [...]

Week 3 is complete with most of my boxes checked! We ended it with a field trip to the NC Museum of Art in Raleigh. When we approached the information desk, the lady said in a polite voice, “I’m assuming they’re here for something.” After a second, I realized she was talking about the children. [...]

Week two has been completed! It consisted of mummies, lemurs, a talking belly, and rugelach. The chaos seemed a little better this week….or maybe I’m just getting used to it. I’ve accepted the fact that being exhausted at the end of the day is probably going to be the norm rather than the exception. Soccer [...]

Foundations Classical Academy is in session! Week 1 of first grade has been completed! It’s actually been a very chaotic week. I still haven’t figured out how to manage all the kids, clean the house, and complete school at the same time in a nice, orderly, calm way. However, by the grace of God, everything [...]
