Gloomy day

Monday morning and the Alberta sky is gloomy and grey. We had a very rainy and cool day which sometimes can make for a productive school day. Evan was on task and did all of his assigned work. Science is a continuation of the Vancouver Coast theme. After seeing all the great marine life , Evan decided to do a power point, on the octopus. He just started and hopefully will be done , by the end of the week. We also studied the shells we brought back, and watched a very good video we bought at the Aquarium. Evan seemed to enjoy all of this today. Hopefully tomorrow will be good too!

More great pics!



Hands on at the Aquarium


This little marine aquarium was the perfect science day. The kids explored marine life being able to touch and read. It was a great couple of hours. I learned a lot too!!!  Can you spot all the marine life in the aquarium?

Ucluelet amazing!!!

Well our day was incredible. The weather was perfect. We collected shells, waded in the ocean, walked along forest paths and soaked in the beauty!!!! Many lessons can be learned here.

Tofino bound!

Two very excited home schoolers, and one super excited mom! I've never been to Tofino and can't wait to see what awaits me!

Friday yay!


I am once again happy it's Friday ! It was a productive week with the school work. We are still working on attitude but it is coming. Slowly but surely Evan is getting into a routine I just wish he'd get to work a little faster in the morning. 
We are going to comox to visit my best friend and her daughter, it will be science and social combined! Lots of outdoor activities are planned. I can't wait!  My friend and her daughter are in the picture above. See you in two days!

My homeschooling journal is now here.. Word press did not work out!

https://speedyeedy.wordpress.com/

HI friends this will now be my homeschool blog .. I attached the old blog in case I lost some of you.

I was in the middle of a draft when word press locked me out.. So here I am kind of starting all over again.. A quick post to say week three is almost done, and we have accomplished so much.. still having some battles but I am reading some devotions to help me through.. I sometimes need these, it is like mediation for me. I am liking the progress of our school work, and so tomorrow is a half day!! I am sure Evan will like that.. well after the three tests he has anyway!!
