4 Out of 5 Days

Well this week is scheduled to be almost as busy as last week!Our normal weekly activities of Spanish,music  co-op classes and Alex's fav Nite Life Cafe (teen hangout night), are just a few things that we are doing! On top of the other activities we have some new or almost new things planned, which include flag football, our new 4H homeschooling group, and our favorite CHS event the annual Halloween party. Then Saturday, we have two Halloween parties at the same time (not sure how that is gonna work!) while driving a total of 4 hours so that Alex can volunteer at Noah's Landing Halloween event! Maybe I will just stay in bed this week and peek out next week? OK maybe not!

I have already started searching for some samples of  standardized tests for homeschoolers for my 9th grader, why you ask?? I have decided since this is such a huge step for us, high school that is, I need to give him a test in another month to see how he(we) are doing. That way if I find something like his spelling skills are lacking (again) we can ramp up even more on it. I know that some other homeschoolers I hang out with say that they don't care about spelling as much as they should and I should relax some... But I just can't seem to let it go!! By spelling I also mean his vocabulary, I want him to have a broader base for the writing he is doing for his co-op literature class this year. One way I have researched last week is to have him start a blog, I am thinking on animals, so that he can practice writing about cool facts he finds as well as sites he likes. I have a blog writing online course ready to go when I get all my ducks in a row:)

So that's my plans for this week, what are you planning to get done with this week?
