I'm pretty well over the way that the Box widget that embeds my work plans always insists on scrolling immediately to them when my blog loads, and the way that Box has completely ignored my question about this, so at some point I'm going to have to make the time to research other document embedding systems, sigh. Until then, however...
MONDAY: While the local schoolchildren are suffering through yet another snow day here, it's business as usual for us--it looks like even our local volunteer gig will be open today, so add "De-ice the car" to my to-do list! Syd's working on her factor chart (I got the idea from an old elementary Montessori manual--I'll tell you about it another time, if it turns out well) right now, while Will, who's finished part of her reading work, is heating up some French bread for our breakfast.
We've got chapter 19 of Song School Latin
TUESDAY: The kids have both Math Mammoth and First Language Lessons
WEDNESDAY: Will's big Spring Ice Show performance is this night--wish her luck!
THURSDAY: We've still got a couple of chemistry experiments centered on acids and bases to perform, but I didn't get around to getting all the materials for those yet, so I'm moving us on to the paleontology that we'll be studying off and on as we lead up to our dinosaur dig this summer. I imagine that we'll be interspersing this paleontology study with seasonal studies, like botany and animal biology, and kid-led interests, but for now, I'll be grounding the kids' understanding, and sneaking in a little more Latin!
I think the kids are also ready to start interspersing Drawing With Children
FRIDAY: We're soundly into our Indiana study, but I wasn't quite prepared to move into the next chapter of The Story of the World
The kids get in moods in which they seem to forget about formerly favorite pastimes, sometimes, so this week's logic is a board game of each kid's choice, to remind them that they like to play board games! That, combined with a library program, should round out our school week on a VERY fun note.
SATURDAY/SUNDAY: We might go to the Indianapolis Museum of Art as a family, or we might send the kids to a pottery class and claim some grown-up time. We might go hiking, if the weather warms, or we might drag the bikes out and get them ready for a season of riding. We *might* order a couple more chicks from a local hatchery, although every time you ask me that one, my answer changes.

Good luck on Wednesday Will!
Emma informed me last week she would like to learn French. So, we are going to try and learn French.
For The Story of the World, did you purchase the activity book, or do you make your own activities to go along with the chapters?
I did purchase all four volumes of the activity books; I use them for the quiz questions, the suggested reading, and the mapwork. I've been pretty unimpressed with the actual activities, at least when compared to the wealth of ideas on Pinterest, so I always do a Pinterest search and a library search to lead me to the extensions for each chapter. And then usually I find so many awesome hands-on activities that it takes us four months to get through each chapter!
Thanks! We just got volume one for now (as we don't tend to stick with things for very long).
I will make sure to search through your pins for more inspiration!
