I need to find more ways to fit Christian Bale into our homeschooling

This Week in Homeschooling

Guess what I didn’t do this week! I didn’t write down anything at all about what the kids did in school. Which means today’s Week in Homeschooling post is going to be extremely brief.

  1. Our spring session of co-op started this week. In separate classes, Poppy made a marshmallow shooter and Pete made a marshmallow catapult. We’re totally prepared for the marshmallow revolution.

  2. We talked about working conditions and unions this week in history, so of course we watched the first half of “Newsies” yesterday. We’ll watch the rest of it today. Viva la baby Bale

  3. I thought I’d really enjoy “The Mysterious Benedict Society,” but so far I am not loving it. Poppy and Pete like it well enough, though. Onward we press.

  4. Pete and I are moving along v e r y slowly with All About Spelling. He’s remembering all of the phonograms, though, so I’m not in any hurry to speed things up.

  5. Poppy is two lessons away from finishing her McRuffy math book. She’s been doing a lot of work with fractions recently, and she really seems to love them.

So. What’s your favorite movie-musical for children about unions in the late 1800s?

  1. I honestly don’t have an answer to the question about the movie-musical. But had a question for you about the McRuffy math as we’re considering it next year for our youngest (the elder two are moving to Saxon). Just was wondering how you’re liking McRuffy is all

    1. I’ve been happy with McRuffy thus far. Pete uses it exclusively, while Poppy does McRuffy on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and Teaching Textbooks on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Some people don’t like having a “script” to read from the McRuffy teacher’s manual, but I really like having that available for math particularly. McRuffy also uses a lot of manipulatives, which really helps things click for Pete.

  2. Thank you for your quick reply! I do believe after reading it, as I did before asking the question but wanted some feedback from someone who has used it, that it will be the perfect fit for our Peanut! Thank you again!
