Quiet Time

Quiet time at the cabin. Just hubby and me. It gave me time to ponder what I'm thankful for.
Thinking Tree Journal
It was a nice weekend getaway celebrating our 20th Anniversary. Hard to believe we've been married for 20 amazing and wonderful years.

Of course I brought more of my Thinking Tree journals.

How We Use The Thinking Tree Journals for 8th Grade

Image
It's no secret that I absolutely LOVE the Thinking Tree journals and to tell you the truth I wasn't sure how to incorporate them in our homeschooling days this year. My son is a reluctant reader/learner and needs more structure. I struggled a bit with how to mesh the journals with my son's school days because he does need more guidance. Thankfully I found a solution. It's not exactly how I pictured us using our Fun-Schooling journals but we are using them!!! Yay! If you are more structured homeschooler and were wondering how to incorporate The Thinking Tree ~Fun-Schooling journals for creative & active kids into your homeschool. This might help.  This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my disclosure. Our first four weeks were me still trying to figure out what to use. My perfect plan would be to use the Thinking Tree journals and work our way around them. Check out history books and science books from the library and have fun with that.  The Library Base...

Ethan my 8th grade son has been using The Thinking Tree full time for a while. I need to gather all his journals and write about it in more detail. This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my disclosure. Ethan my 8th grade son has been using The Thinking Tree full time for a while. I need to gather all his journals and write about it in more detail. He's currently using: The Library Based Journal for Boys How to Make Money Timeline of World History Are You a Math Genius Word Hunt And he'll probably start United States Geography soon as well.

Ethan's Summer Learning Using The Thinking Tree (2017)

Image
I'm challenging myself to have some summer learning fun with my kiddos for six weeks! Basically I want to make sure Ethan completes at least a few pages from two journals a day and two pages from Dyslexia Games Series C . One day it could be a few pages from his Learning Guide & Literature & Poetry . Another day from the Reading Time & Secret Diary . Eventually I'd like to have him writing in the Secret Diary daily but for now, a few pages a week will do. I'm going to do most of the reading during read aloud time and once done we both will pull out our journals (with him, either the Learning Guide or Reading Time) and have fun filling out the page or pages. It would be great if he does Math Genius daily but we'll shoot for two times a week. I want him to continue with his regular math four times a week.
