You are reading the writing of one proud Momma! Taekwondo Gal (Green Belt) won 3rd place for Sparring and 4th place for Form at a Regional Taekwondo Tournament. The last couple of weeks have been non-stop practice and perseverance has been her reward. Honestly, homeschooling is the only way any of this is possible. Our schedules prior to this year would have never allowed it. Yes, I’ve said it before-but, I’ll say it again. I love Homeschooling!

So, as we transition back into a normal routine-I’ll transition you into our weekly homeschool schedule. Here’s our week ahead!

Ambleside Online is our primary curriculum, we are currently in week 31.

• In a quarter of an hour the Captain of the robbers awoke, got up, and opened the window. As all seemed quiet he threw down some little pebbles which hit the jars.
