Happy Monday!

Written by Lynn on November 17th, 2008

Brrrrrrrrrrrr! It’s really cold outside this morning and it was cold last night. But I had a wonderful evening last evening, cozy and snug in my old house, writing out lesson plans and planning out the upcoming week. I’m very thankful that things seem to be getting back to normal around here. We got a VERY good report from the cardiologist on Friday, so things are looking up!

Happy Monday!  I hope your week has started out on the right foot.

When I wake up on Mondays, it’s hard sometimes to make myself go to my work desk and work all day.  I could easily get started doing little projects in the house and be content to mess around with house-related things all day long. 

To satisfy the domestic side of me (which is my largest side, by the way), I do just a little something in the house before the work day starts.  This morning I dusted and straightened a little area where I keep a lot of family photographs.  Do you see the beautiful new tablecloth from my Five In A Row friend?  :)

I lined the backs of the shelves with some retro-looking wrapping paper.  I love the retro colors.  Princess of the Universe loves anything Christmas-y, so she’ll love this.

We are continuing on with our reading of Caddie Woodlawn.  We snuggled up last night and read a chapter.

Caddie Woodlawn. With the Wisconsin big woods theme, goes along great with a FIAR study of The Raft.

We will also continue along this week with our study of The Raft, using lesson plans from Five In A Row.  I have written out lesson plans for today using items that Princess of the Universe can do on her own. 

I printed out some Caddie Woodlawn paperdolls from the Wisconsin History site for Miss Priss to have fun with this week. 

I have a lot of nature activities planned for this week.  More later.  Off I go to type. 

I hope you have a wonderful week!

    I plan my lessons on Sunday night too. I love the feeling of getting everything in order before we start our week of learning together!

    Thanks for the book tips….I think I might get those for mini me for Christmas :)

    Thanks for you kind comments today about the kids. I have to tell you, it is a real PUSH to keep them motivated in a constructive way. It requires a lot of practice time and pretty much everyone hates practicing :)
