Insomnia aka early Wordless Wednesday

Not entirely wordless...



I have it. Totally stressed about planning next year. Think I might have sent my notification out late. Nope, we're good. I've got the good old home school planning blues, deathly afraid my plans won't be academic enough, fun enough, just enough. Fear of failure always kills me. We finished FLL 1 today! That leaves SOTW 1 and the bible that should be finished by the beginning of the year. Which is in TWO WEEKS. I have four weeks of science, the year of history and lit readings planned out. Not all the activities for history and lit though, have to see where it goes. I bought notebooking pages from CurrClick - Notebooking Nook.com - Medieval World Combo. I might just use the timeline pages though. Kind of a Book of Centuries with mini books for each event. Yeah, I could put the SOTW cards on mini books and have O. color and write inside. Trying to make writing happen, but more fun. Using WWE, going to place him the second week of school. I need to break down and make it as fun as possible while still keeping all our subjects and proof thereof. Damn portfolio reviews. The lady is nice, though.

Trying to cut down to just the readings we have to finish. O. won't die if we don't do the last few pages of SOTW. We're reviewing the fall of Rome in two weeks anyway. I have to remind myself that some things are just do the next. I'm going to streamline the Saxon Meeting with the portable circle idea I found here: http://wayzleyacademy.homeschooljournal.net/2008/08/02/portable-circle-time-revisted/,
though mine will be somewhat different. Anyone know of a good place online to print out a free US map and World map? I'd be so appreciative.

This site has alot of geography and other things. I believe this person might be on WTM (if I'm not mistaken) But, I do not remember her name.

Yes, we have the portfolio stuff here also. I just want to teach and enjoy...not to have to worry about getting things together for others.

I watched this with my girls and they really loved his poem. It made my girls laugh.

I have three girls that enjoyed his poem. We had to watch it four times before they would let me click off of it to comment. He did very well!
