The summer hiatus is going really well. I had originally planned to school year round but I'm glad we took time off to enjoy the weather and just the general summer-ness of summer. In reality, we've only been completely lesson free for about 6 weeks but it feels like so much longer.
I've been updating this blog for the new school year which will start either the first or second week of September. I have enough lesson planning done to get us off to a good start. We haven't changed much curriculum but we have added some things. Henry will be in first grade so he has more subjects than he did last year. Eleanor is adding Latin. Susannah will begin a more formal preschool program.
Here is our overview for this year:
Henry
- Spelling Workout B
- First Language Lessons
- Writing With Ease
- Story of the World: Medieval History
- Geography
- Saxon 2
- Spelling Workout D
- First Language Lessons 4
- Classical Writing: Aesop B
- Story of the World: Medieval History
- Geography
- Saxon 5/4
- Ecoutez, Parlez!
- Lively Latin
One of my recent projects has been fully committing the old dining room to our schoolroom by losing the dark mustard color. Great for stimulating the appetite but dreary for lessons. I've also put up a permanent white board and added all sorts of posters and such. Here are the pics of what I've done so far:

Looks great. Where did you put the cabinets that lined the wall between the dining room and family room?
Hey you! Your learning room looks awesome! Is it always that clean or just for the pic?!? :o) Love the pink ball chair. Perfect for little ones who can't sit still! Ds5 has a core disk he sits on for that very reason.
Looks like we will be using some of the same stuff this year. I haven't had any time to work on the artist/composer stuff for the Middle Ages...for some reason the packing of boxes keeps getting in the way! When we get settled I'll have a chance to look at it and share what I come up with. Love what you have so far.
:o)
