We had a good day yesterday getting back in to the swing of schoolwork. It was actually nice after taking over 2 weeks off.
We started the day with devotions from the Guideposts book. We moved on to Kansas History reading trading cards of famous Kansans that I had picked up at the state fair this past year. Then it was Earth Science from the text. We will be finishing the text up, hopefully before the end of March. From there we learned about and calculated simple interest in the Understanding Investment and the Stock Market workbook. She did a workbook page in her Vocabulary Enhancement workbook, and we can't forget exercising with the Wii.
I am glad that we did invest the money in buying the Wii. Jasmine is sticking with using it for exercise and enjoying it.
I took a video this past Saturday evening when we had 4 grandchildren overnight. They were having a blast!
Today is my monthly sewing club at church. After the usual Bible study upstairs at church, Jasmine will come down, have lunch and then get busy on the various workbooks that remain in the van. They remain there since we do end up out and about a lot. This way she can keep on working. It works for us! Do you do anything like this as well?

I have to admit, we took off 3 weeks for Christmas! I loved the time off, and it gave my daughter time to refresh her brain! We don't use workbooks in the car, but we always have books, and often take along a laptop computer. Since most of our schooling is online, my daughter can work whenever she needs to when we are out and about. The other thing that she does on the laptop when we are out is work on keyboarding games. Her favorite right now is on Learning Games for Kids and is called QWERTY Warriors. I love hearing her squeal as the game intensifies(and her keyboarding skills increase!) Happy homeschooling and happy New Year!
