Thank you!<br /><br />I also take little breaks throughout the year just last week we had to take a whole week off due to my kidney stone. We will do some school during the summer also. On Friday, I plan on writing about how I will save money when purchasing curriculum. Here in Alaska they give us allotments to homeschool so alot of things I can purchase with that! <br />Thank you for stopping by!<br />Blessings!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11191618979558529761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146248571520928290.post-89282663579014204032010-02-17T08:56:12.997-06:002010-02-17T08:56:12.997-06:00Hi!

I've been homeschooling for 9 years now. <br /><br />I thought I would just share with you what we do for math, it's sort of similar to what you described. <br /><br />We do school year round. I take off lots of breaks but don't have any set calendar...because who knows what life will bring 6 months from now. <br /><br />Generally I give new curriculum in August...but not math. Here's why. Saving the new math books for January/February, gives us something to look forward to. The harder stuff is at the back of the math book. So they spend the first half of the "new school year" working hard. When they get their new math books it is almost like a breath of fresh air. The math is suddenly very easy and the work load seems lighter. It recharges us when the winter blahs set in.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11630135674980486857noreply@blogger.com
