Thinking about our School Year
Last week when we went shopping the library was having their annual book sale, it's by donation. I stopped to look and picked out a nice box of children's books!
Some of them are for the Before Five in A Row and Five In A Row program we use. I was so excited about that! I also found some nice history storybooks.
We happened to be back in town a few days later and they were still having the sale. So I just had to peek again. I found another book to go with the B4FIAR and some nice children's farming books! I'm planning to do a farming unit this fall with the kids.
The International Plowing Match will be in our area and we are planning an all-day field trip there.
Dh is really looking forward to that too. I also picked up some wonderful animal videos for the kids and some documentaries for us. Dh also picked out an encyclopedia set on natural history.
I'm hoping to get to a homeschool bookstore this weekend. My shopping list has been gone over and over. I'm still tweaking it. So far I'm thinking of getting this:
