Enjoying the Chaos

For the past few weeks Captain and I have been working from the Indigo level of  Homeschool Navigator  We are also in the middle of a great  Interactive Notebook  for Holes. We didn't get as far as I wanted with the notebook as I wanted but we have had great success with this program. Home School Navigator Reading and Language Arts Curriculum is an online/offline program that contains a full year of reading and writing assignments. There are six levels you can find the scope and sequence for each level  here. RED - K reading level ORANGE- 1st-grade reading level YELLOW- 2nd-grade reading level GREEN -3rd-grade reading level BLUE- 4th-grade reading level INDIGO - 5th-grade reading level I received a one-year membership to the website and Captain worked on the Indigo level.

It's such a nice change...summer is coming. Two weeks of school left and I am so ready. Next week my mother in law is arriving for a month and we are very excited.  We took our new travel trailer out last weekend even though the forecast was bad.

I think can't wait for more summer adventures!

I love this word....

Captain took ages which one was going to be his first choice and everyone here was really excited for him to choose  Theodore Roosevelt - An American Original . All of my kids have loved learning about 'Teddy Roosevelt' and so I know this book will be read by all three of the kids.
