Goal Planning - Thanksgiving week

Happy Monday!!

(If I say it cheerfully enough, I will believe it, right?)

Last week's plans:

1.  Finish this Math Unit. We will be done by tomorrow.  We took an extra day off because Jude slept all day (a 5 minute time out turned into a 5 hour nap!) so we have our section test to take today.  Tomorrow we can do the Unit test, and then pack it up for vacation.  I have a couple of workbooks that I'll take with me - we can do some "fun" and "review" things, and start fresh when we get back.

2.  Lesson Plans.

I have some vague plans sketched out for vacation.  I'll take some math work and our journal, definitely.  I also have some "fun" activity books -- "dot-to-dot", matching, etc. -- so I'll pack those as well.  We may also rely a little more heavily on iPad apps, too.  I really need more "busy" work to keep him occupied while the other kids are doing their assignments. 

I also want to try to organize December's lessons (including Ruth).  Um...I'll do it while we're gone??
I think our first week back will be "pick up where we left off" and then flesh out from there.

3. Inventory our art supplies.  1 out of 3 isn't bad, right? The big boys each had projects for school this week (Luke did a haiku turkey and Matthew a project on the role of Mitosis in cancer) that required more of our stash, so it was a good time to inventory.  We could use more construction paper, some new markers, and lots of blue paint!

Next week:  I have no goals, other than to enjoy vacation!  I will take his books with us, but I think we will probably do some more "accidental" learning -- hanging out in Innoventions at Epcot (lots of science-based activities), identifying signs by what letter they start with, and patience standing in line!

Happy Thanksgiving!
