Weekly Report #35-38

All is well here! School is going fine. Dealing with whining off and on but that is to be expected when we are all still cooped up inside in May! This weather is awful!

We are working on review in most subjects. We are still working on our insect unit study and still having a lot of fun with it! We recently did a fun project- Caterpillar babies - Very similar to these- http://thehubbsfamily01.blogspot.com/2010/02/and-they-have-hair.html

The kids are enjoying seeing them grow "hair!" I will post pictures soon! We recently participated in a post card swap and have had fun tracking where we sent ours and where we received postcards from!

DS is doing great with his drum lessons. He had a great soccer season. He is very sad that it is over already.
DD is doing great as well in gymnastics. She is practicing a special song right now- hopefully to perform in front of some special people very soon!
Lots of arts and crafts, letter writing, Beethoven, and imaginative free play!

We have received our curriculum for next year and we are planning on starting it very soon. Possibly even next week! I am really excited about it. I think it is going to be a really fun year.
I do need to try to find some new ways to keep the kids motivated and excited. (I do think this curriculum will help that) Any scheduling tips, or reward ideas (Keeping in mind we school from work full time) are appreciated!!
