End of the Week Review
We are nearing the end of the month, and thus the end of the theme. As it is, I have not completed my planning for the year (I follow the Aug-Sept schedule) and now I need to plan for next month. I'm the most disorganised homeschooler ever. I feel utmost shame when I read other homeschoolers' blogs.
Today, we made castles with boxes and rolls after reading on castles and taking a virtual tour on http://www.destination360.com/europe/germany/castles. That took out half the school-time.
I finally took out my Eid storybooks from Goodword; ' Celebrating Eid Ul Fitr with Ama Fatima' gave me some ideas for activities with kids for Eid gatherings,although some are open to debate. In line with the theme today, we read 'Sleeping Beauty' in Arabic, which happened to have beautiful illustrations of castles. After school, we listened to 'I Look, I See II' and my daughter just had to dance to it. God forgive me.
We've just lost another Arabic tutor due to her heavy commitments, this is motivation for me to learn with the kids, InsyaAllah. Time to go back to http://talibiddeenjr.amanahwebs.com/arabic.htm owned by Umm' Ibrahim mother of 9 and homeschooler of 7. A true inspiration for me.
This week, I am guilty of not doing my grammar, Malay and Mathematics workbooks with Ihsan although he has been doing more work from his workplan. I am also guilty of almost total Montessori work with the juniors...hehehe...we all need the balance. I need more proper scheduling instead of the timetable in my head. We do have to do 'traditional work' at least once a week...not?
I think we need some 'green,wide,open space'; wonder whether we can fit in the Botanic Gardens in between raya visits tomorrow...
