Having totally skipped January and February I finally have a few minutes to update what has been happening in our little homeschool world. In a nutshell-swim, swim, swim, snow, snow, snow, and school, school, school.
Swim season is over. That was quite a ride. Mister B made it to States for the Bergen Sharks. He swam freestyle and a relay. He came in 2nd in his heat for freestyle and shaved some time. Overall, he came in 7th place. But he earned 2 points for his team. So, all in all, pretty good if you ask me. The Sharks won States overall combined score of girls and boys. The girls came in 1st and the boys came in 3rd. A great day and a lot of fun.
The high school team also qualified for States. Our team made it as far as the semi-finals. First time ever. Very exciting.
This is the last week for the Sharks. Sunday will be the fun meet against themselves. Then the end of the year dinner. At which point I will enjoy a couple of weeks off before Spring Training begins.
But enough about swim, what about school, I can hear you saying. School is going well for both of them. They are making progress. Little Miss has been devoting some time to the study of Freedom from Religion and how that applies to daily life. She has also been studying the moon. In English she is enjoying The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. She is not enjoying my constantly making her look up words when she does not know their meaning.
Mister B is also progressing nicely. He is working on a research paper for his writing class and has started a 10 week Shakespeare class studying Romeo and Juliet. Math is steady progress as is health, science, and history.
The past couple of months have been hectic, crazy, and wild ride. Here is to March roaring in like a lion and going out like a lamb.
