On the whole, I am pleased with our efforts in 2010. DD and I officially started homeschooling, with curricula and everything. We made new friends and kept the old. We helped to organize a new co-op. We both learned alot.
I'm hoping that this list of goals, inspired by my friend Sherry, will help me achieve that elusive goal of organization...
Homeschool Goals
- Language Arts
- Resurrect/Invigorate our handwriting lessons
- Read more poetry
- Make notebook pages for some of her favorite books
- Math
- Play math games like Cubes and Sum Swamp several times a month
- Make a point to integrate math into our daily life (in other words, don't just watch the Math U See video segment, do a few workbook pages and call it a day)
- History
- Do a few projects from the Story of the World (SOTW) Activity book
- Request historical non-fiction books from the library IN ADVANCE
- Read two chapters of SOTW per week
- Science
- Make a Human Body lapbook
- Have materials on-hand for a few science experiments throughout the semester
- Cultivate patience *see Homeschool goals
- Jettison the quest for perfection
- Exercise/Train for a half marathon
- Start knitting again
- Give back as much as I've received
- And always, always remember what it's all about:
Happy New Year, y'all!

Do you have a premade human body lapbook picked out or are you going to make your own? G would probably like to do one of those too, so I was just curious to know if you've found any good stuff.
Happy New Year Amy!
