His Treasure Seekers

We’re preparing to move in the next couple weeks, and since we’ve officially finished the year, our school room has become the holding place for all packed boxes.  Since most of those boxes are full of books, it just made sense, but it still makes me kind of sad seeing the room so unusable, especially because we just moved in here two years ago and it feels like we just settled in.  Thankfully this next move should be more permanent.

I don’t let my kids completely off for the summer, but since most of our school things are packed up, they’re pretty much just doing computer work.  Every weekday Ian and Elijah practice facts on xtramath.org and then complete a lesson on CTC Math.  Depending on how they do with their facts, they earn time on Prodigy, which provides a little extra math practice.  I only require math from them, but both boys have been choosing to do some of the more advanced activities on Reading Eggs as well. Arianna has started lessons on Reading Eggs. [Edited to remove link because I no longer recommend this program. See “Good-bye, Reading Eggs.”]

Since we’re down to one computer, this means someone’s online for most of the morning, but I’m hoping to get a second computer up and running after the move so they can work simultaneously.  I want our summer to feel a little more like a break!
