Workboxes: Major Upgrades

Yesterday I did a major upgrade to the Workbox Blogroll. The upgrade is not quite finished, but you will notice lots of changes if you hop on over and visit it. I added link buttons or header graphics for every entry that I could find them for. I am working through linking all the graphics (I should have done this as I added the graphics, ugh). I updated links. I added tons of new links.  I am also working through adding twitter links for everyone that has a twitter. I would like to include a short write up for each blog, but that will come later (not today).

If you are not listed on the Workbox Blogroll and you would like to be, just leave a comment here.

What do you think of all the changes?

Chemistry Class: Vocabulary Cards

I have finally finished the vocabulary cards that go with the game board that I made a few days ago.

These are simple vocabulary cards (with the word and the definition on each card). There are a few suggestions for games.

Chemistry Class

Finally, a new download!

Chemistry Class is only one little piece of a bigger project that I am working on. It has taken me a little bit to wrap my head around this whole project and figure out what I want the end result to be (I think it's clicking now!). Today's download is a cute, full color, game board package.

When School is Going Well…

I love it when a day goes well.

I don't know if you remember me blogging about My Homeschool Binder in a previous post?

Yes, I do still plan to add some pictures. I did take the pictures... now I just need to remember to download them from the camera and upload them to the website. Now, where is the camera?

Anyways... my homeschool binder is working well. Okay, we are all loving it and the organization and simplicity that it brings to our homeschooling adventure. We are taking a short break from workboxes and will add them in again soon. For now, school is going well. I feel much more connected to my kids and I am really enjoying the one on one time with them.

I have finally figured some things out.  I work with each child individually for about 1 to 2 hours (depending on the day and the work to be done by the children). We do our Math and Language Arts one on one. This is working out very well. I rotate through the kids and we work around meals, the twins naps, housework, and life. We also do our Bible reading at breakfast, our History and Science readings at Lunch, and our Read Alouds at bedtime. This system is working really well for us.

Today was a smooth day. Everyone worked really hard and we got a ton of work done. We have a very busy week this week (with many appointments outside of the home), so we need to be really diligent in getting our work done when we can. I am trying to push the children a bit harder to stretch them and grow them into doing more advanced or in some cases, just more work. I hope every day this week is as productive as today was.

I would love it if you would take a moment to share about something that is going well in your homeschool.
