Not such a great blogger

So apparently, I'm not such a great blogger.  I always have great intentions to update weekly, showing all of the wonderful and beautiful things that we have done and created, and then...

But it's a new year now.  I've updated everything that was waiting for updates here (pictures from last years 3 blog posts) and a blog post from 2013 that's been sitting in the draft folder (not sure why it was there, and I just posted it, hopefully there's nothing "wrong" with it).  I've also added a new blog post for the Primary Geography/Social Studies unit that we did in July.

I am right now sitting, and planning, and planning, and planning our new year.  I know that trick to making the year run smoothly is PLANNING AND PREP.  So we won't be moving forward until that is completed, and surprisingly it almost is :)  So please do hang in there and don't give up on me.  This year is shaping up to be the best one yet.

Georaphy & a Road Trip

As I attempt to plan our a Grade 3 year for my Treasure, I've been going over all of the primary standards for the primary grades in our area to make sure that we have or will be touching on everything.  I realized that we haven't really done any of the social studies stuff.  So I sat down and wrote out a plan to take us through July.  We did end up taking some time off, with an impromptu trip to the East coast to say Good Bye to my dear Uncle.  The road trip allowed us to stop at a town that is half way between the Equator and the North Pole.
