Tree House Academy Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 We are!!! :) Of course, with the attitudes my kids have displayed today, I am thinking we might just be schooling at the Thansgiving table! GRRR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Not I. However, we are modifiying school. We're still doing reading and math, but instead of our usual WWE, FLL and History, we are combining it all in a 3 day unit study of the Pilgrims, with lots of read alouds, narrations, copywork, etc. all pertaining to the Pilgrims. And our school day isn't lasting as long because I have lots of baking to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 We usually take this week off. Then we usually do very little academics between Thanksgiving and the New Year. However this year we've slacked more than usual. We've taken more time off than I'm comfortable with, and I feel there are a few things I want ds to finish before Christmas.(We will take off between Christmas and New Year's Day.) In order for that to happen, we have to have more school days than we usually do at this time of year. So, no. Not this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahamamama Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 We had OFF from school today (Monday), and I cooked, cleaned, and did all the laundry. We will DO SCHOOL tomorrow (Tuesday), just a bit of seat work, math drill, and memory work review. That will finish those up for the month. We will be OFF on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I don't have to cook anything for Thanksgiving -- "just show up" I was told. Yeah! Over the weekend and on into next week, we will finish up Bible, Prims, Science, and all our Read Alouds. And that's it for November. Then we begin December's work (three weeks of school), and after that, we're done with 2010 -- and done with our school year! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Exactly. We're off school this week, but I've got full lists for each day of other things to do. When do we get a *real* break? :tongue_smilie: Right after we move to the middle of nowhere and cut off all communication with the outside world :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsbaby Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 We are doing school today and tomorrow and taking the rest of the week off. Need to save up days for our family vacation in February! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey Mom Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 We're doing half-days. We ended up taking last Friday off due to an extraordinary amount of errands I had to run, so we did Spelling tests today, and caught up on our Bible lessons. Tomorrow and Wednesday we're doing Bible only. After the chaos that ensued this afternoon, I may be revising my plan to do half days. :glare: Seems my boys think half days mean you can run like wild banshees throughout the house and dump legos all over the bedroom. :glare: I'll be playing it by ear tomorrow. I have lessons ready to go if they get out of line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwjx2khsmj Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 We had planned to but with house hunting earlier in the month we need the extra days to catch up. Thankfully, we have fun plans for Thursday and Friday to make up for the three days of school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin M Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Normally we do, but since James was sick much of September, we have some catching up to do. So doing lessons m,t,and w. We'll take a week, maybe more at Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutor Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Traditionally, we take off from the week of Thanksgiving until the day after New Year's Day. However, thanks to my indecisiveness early on and the need to iron-out some kinks, we'll only be taking off a couple days this week, a couple weeks at Christmas, and New Year's Day.

Dmmetler Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 We are actually taking a 2 week break. My parents are here this week (Thanksgiving and DD's birthday), so I couldn't see DD doing school with them here, and we leave Friday to go to Florida (originally, it was supposed to be for the Nov 30 Shuttle launch, but I don't think we'll have trouble filling that extra day). Then, we're going to come back, do a big Christmas unit study, and start back on more serious curriculum in January. I was able to get DD to good stopping points in most curricula by last week (with some review and filling in gaps in some areas in the week or so before), so we're good. I'm looking forward to the next month :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieZ Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Yes, BUT. . . We're still doing school until the kids are all caught up, as various slacking problems led to the olders getting behind the last couple weeks. Hopefully that'll be done by tomorrow for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
