This was an easy week for our homeschool.  My husband and I were not feeling well and with our car still broken, it was a good week to stay home.   Also, this was our 9th week of the homeschooling year so we’ve been finishing up a few loose ends and testing before starting our fall break.

The highlight this week has been the chalkboard wall.  With our pirate studies being over it was time to erase.  J had been asking to do that for several days, so he was excited to get that job started.

We have decided that the next mural should be a fall scene and agreed on a big full moon with a silhouette tree.

We’re saving a couple of blank spaces in the moon for other silhouettes, perhaps a bat, an owl, and a spider.

Perhaps we’ll get it finished over the weekend or early next week.  Until then we will have to deal with a dusty mess.

Our keyhole garden science project is still ongoing.  The tomato plants are about finished but the peppers are still producing like crazy.

E and B have started back with SALT (homeschool creative ministries troop) and are loving being with their friends again after some time off to settle into the new school year.

I hope you had a good week and that you enjoy your weekend.
