In a homeschooling house full of 7 kids & 3 guniea pigs....there is never a dull moment! A lot of people show genuine concern for us and want to know how we are doing, as the road we've left behind was not a pleasant one. So, here I am, to tell some of our stories...share some of our days...and open up a part of our world to you! Come join us on our journey so you won't miss the moments that take our breath away!

Our School week September 2-6

Gah!!!  The three day weekend leading up to this week, really threw us through a loop!  Monday, we didn't have school. 

Tuesday, Eagle began preparing for his test.  So absolutely nothing exciting for him this week!

Macaw started the week with having lots of fun with the story "Stone Soup". We read a few different versions of this story.  She completed a book summary project, a lapbook and made real stone soup!




We got the template for her book summary here
The lapbook templates came from here


Emu and Duckling anxiously awaited the FedEx guy to bring their special delivery and just around noon he finally arrived.  They were so excited to unpack their boxes!


With all the excitement going on, Dove would not stay off of the school desks, so we thought it would be a great time to bring up his desk...it didn't end up very well, lol
 He's just a bit too young to figure out the chair...so we are now on a desperate hunt for a school desk that will allow him to stay somewhat safe because obviously this one got put back up.

Being the Calvert lovers that we are, we know just how to organize everything and knew just how to get started, so we jumped right into our day!


It wasn't long into our lessons when Dove started throwing up, such a great time for a tummy bug to show up...ugh...so, we had a bit of a delay in our day.  Later, we managed to move on to the story of Goldilocks and The Three Bears.  It just so happened that we had an audio read along of this story which came in handy because I was able to tend to our sick little one while they continued with their lesson.  We also made some puppets for them to retell the story.



 We got the templates here 
Macaw remembered doing these a few years ago! I can't believe how small the kids looked when I posted about Macaw's day that day.

Our day was cut a bit short with Dove being sick. He was quite under the weather!  Hoping he doesn't spread this to everyone in the house!

We had a lot of fun this week!
