So what does that mean to the homeschooling families? Sometimes not much. =) Monkey's routine doesn't change much, except he spends more time outside playing with the neighbor kids. I'm not sure I like him playing with some of them, but what do you do? They are the only kids around here his age, and I do make sure he has time with kids I prefer. Plus, there are positive life lessons to be learned from playing with kids you might not think are the best influences.. After all, we all have to learn to deal with real life, and not all people have the same values you may have. It's important to me for my kids to learn to deal with these issues while I have some control over the consequences. And we do have weekly playdates for both kids with other homeschoolers to counterbalance what he has to deal with here at home. =)
I've decided to begin a Link of the Day section. I'm hoping this will help keep me on track with my goal of providing as much free information as possible to help out fellow homeschoolers. I know how expensive things can get. =) So without further ado, here is:

Monkey has decided that Science is his thing, so we try to put all the schoolwork in a scientific focus. It makes things so much smoother when he's excited to do what we ask. =) So today's homeschool link is from About.com: Homeschooling. We've spent the summer learning about sea animals, and this link has tons of unit studies and worksheets related to sea animals. Hope you enjoy the link!
