The Meet the Students page is updated for this school year, with photos - finally!

As you can tell, I kind of took the summer off from this blog. There is something about the summer that makes it impossible for me to think about homeschooling.

But summer is nearing its end. The public school starts three weeks from Wednesday. I have to have my homeschooling paperwork in to the state by the end of the month. School is once again on my mind.

This year, I am switching from Saxon Math to Singapore. The kids just were not responding well to Saxon, as much as I liked it. We are going to start in with the new Singapore books this week. They just arrived today.

Another big change this year is that Little E will start kindergarten! He just got his new math book, too, and is very excited. (Singapore Earlybird Kindergarten Mathematics book 2A)

I can’t believe that he is going to be 5 at the end of next week!

I am looking forward to getting back into school. This summer has been very hectic, emotional, and disruptive for all of us and having the sense of normalcy that a school-y schedule will provide us will be a change most welcome.

I also look forward to sharing about our home school life with you here on this blog.

I swear!

I have been busy, busy, busy and it is all I can do to update my other 2 blogs.

I have so much to post about on here, though. I am going to try to steal some time to write some stuff this week. However, if I can’t, you’ll be glad to know that I am getting a laptop and soon I will be able to post while the kids are having their computer time.

Yea!!!

I thought I would check in and let you know I am still here.

Thanks for reading.

(More to come!)

I have had the flu for the past 10 days, so I have not been on the computer much.  (You should see how full my feed reader is!)

We have been working on our final push to get our homeschool lessons done, though.

I have also been reflecting on my homeschool methods and what I want to accomplish with home schooling.  So, I have quite a few things that I want to post about, hopefully soon.

I am also going to participate in Dana’s Home Education Week, so I will have posts on her writing prompts next week, too.

I just wanted to fill you in on what is going on, since it has been dead around here for a while.

Okay, this site is now at the domain: SouthMeadowAcademy.com. (Caps not necessary.)

This post is to test if the old feed still works for this new URI.  If you are not reading this, your feed needs to be updated!

I am going to change the address of this site to southmeadowacademy.com.  I am not sure how that will affect the feed.  I will let you know.

I do have some posts planned for later today.  My start-up with this site was delayed due to illness.

Welcome to my new blogging endeavor.

I decided that I wanted to start a site where I could catalogue our homeschooling adventures and share lesson plans, resources and tips with other homeschoolers.

I found that my personal blog, All Things Hold Together, was more of a homekeeping blog, rather than a homeschooling blog. And I wanted a place that was focused just on homeschooling.

So here it is!

South Meadow Homeschool Academy is what the boys and I call our school, when we are pretending that it is a real school school.

While we don’t do school at home, we sometimes like to play school. Kind of like kids do. It’s fun!
