Halcyon Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 My kids just found out that tomorrow s a holiday when the pastor asked them if they were looking forward to a day off tomorrow. :glare: :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I was planning on it as dh was going to be working but now he is off so chances are we won't get anything much done. I'm hoping to still squeeze in at least Math and Writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Changed Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 We were planning to school as usual, but dd can't seem to shake this virus/ear infection. So we may not have school, but it has nothing to do with the holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney Dreaming Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) We are. We save our days off when we need a break or take a vacation. Dh is working tomorrow so I see no need to be off. Edited September 2, 2012 by ugamom11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalanamak Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 We school every day, because overtime work, illness, and field trips eat up what days we would have off. If we have the time and strength, we school. Kiddo does much better a little at a time. So do I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go_go_gadget Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I would school the goblins tomorrow, but I'll be too busy schooling myself for the final exams I have this week. They're going to ride a steam train with their grandparents instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheApprentice Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yup. It did not register it was a holiday while I was lesson planning. The boys are actually doing some of their work tonight so that tomorrow will be light.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDays Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Nope. Daddy has the day off, and we generally try to work it so that when DH is home, there is no school. Every once in a while we'll squeeze in a short day, but I'm not going to worry about it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frugalmama Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 In theory yes. We're behind already :glare: But it's the half off sale at the local thrift shop, and Mama is going there before dd gets up. So it depends on how busy it is and how late I get back.

freeindeed Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 We have a light day tomorrow, but that is our *typical* Monday b/c that is our co-op day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoot Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yep, we are schooling. DS13 decided to do some of his work today though since DH has offered to take him to a Blue Rocks baseball game tomorrow afternoon. I'm quite pleased that DS seems to understand that doing fun things on school days does not preclude you from getting your work done.

amsunshine Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yes -- we are, too. DH will be working, and this semester's schedule will get busy really quickly with dds' ballet rehearsals. It's nice to get a head start and then we can take a day or two off when we really need to later in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edeemarie Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 We are. We save our days off when we need a break or take a vacation. Dh is working tomorrow so I see no need to be off. Exactly us!

Karen in CO Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 No way. I'm off work. Dh is off work. We're spending some quality family time together - and dh is planting my lilacs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue G in PA Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yes and my kids are ticked b/c all their ps friends have off. Oh well...we are going to the beach for the day on Thursday so I can't afford to take Monday off as well. Although, I am counting Thursday's trip as a field trip. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyerin Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Maybe? We are still out of power from the hurricane, so all of our routines are in turmoil. If we get power, then DH will probably want to go into the office since he missed all of last week. I'd do at least a light day of school in that case. If we have no power and DH stays home, we'll probably escape to the Y and swim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepyl Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 We are. It is just our third week and we start co-op on Thursday. We have to do 4 days a week during coop weeks to finish Latin and Bible weekly lessons. We only do math and reading on co-op days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelsi Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Usually we follow the school system's schedule since all of our friends are in public school but we took Thurs & Fri "off" to go the museum and the zoo so we're going to do some school on Monday then probably head to the pool.

Forgiven Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 We're supposed to do school tomorrow, but my DH, who is okay with us home schooling, teased the kids, telling them that none of the other kids have to do school tomorrow. So now my kids are revolting and my husband just sits there and laughs. We will do school. I have to work tomorrow (work full time from home). I only have to do a half day, so I'll be done at 7:00 am and then we'll hit the books. I plan to make it a fun day, but we'll get everything done. My husband, btw, is in the dog house right now. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess4879 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 We start tomorrow! :) The kids don't notice if we take different holidays than the ps kids, but they do sure love that they get to go shopping and to the park while the ps kids are in school! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnick in nc Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 DH is off so we are not having school. We may do a science or history activity that we skipped and finish reading a book, but that would be it. Our Fridays are usually lighter, so this Friday will just be a 'regular day.'

BriannaG Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 No because DH is off and the kids don't get to see him much with his work schedule. But DD asked to do some light school. I'm going to try and fit some fun math with games and c-rods into the day and see how everything else plays out. If we do something great, if we don't that's great too.

PeacefulChaos Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 :lol: nice... I don't know if my kids know it's a holiday or not. We don't have any plans, and DH is working, so we're having a regular school week here. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbabybottoms Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 We actually usually take Monday off because we have our coop on Monday but the coop is close tomorrow for Labor Day. But we have a really busy week the rest of the week so I'm actually planning on doing a full school day tomorrow. Tuesday we have a science class at the local science center, Wednesday we have a La Leche League meeting, Thursday gymnastics and Friday a park playdate with our homeschool group. If I don't do a full day tomorrow then we will be behind for the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mélie Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 We are doing school, because Dh is away and we don't have any other plans. His parents are coming next week, then we'll be taking a few short trips, so it'll be nice to get a 5-day week in before we have some shorter ones.

Mom2OandE Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yeah that happened here today too. We are schooling tomorrow and a friend asked them if they are looking forward to their day off at church this morning. I told her we were schooling but would meet up with them after. After we left church I heard a lot of whining. I can't change our schedule though as I'm going out of town on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIE! Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 We only school 4 days a week, and since all their friends will want to play tomorrow, they decided to give up their Friday field trip in order to take tomorrow off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItoLina Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yes. Any day dh works is a school day for us. Sometimes he has a weird schedule, and any day he is off it is impossible to get any school stuff done because "fun papi" is home. He is such a distraction.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellyndria Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yes, for a little while. We'll at least do math, and then maybe writing or spelling and whatever else we have time for. We'll stop when DH gets back from his morning walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawlas Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I was considering it but then my sister and her kids showed up for the weekend and our house is in disarray and there are still a few things undone.

momma2three Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 We haven't done math in a few days, and I like to keep that as consistent as possible, so we'll do some of that tomorrow. Otherwise, the plan is to clean the kids' rooms, and go to a pool party in the afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 We will be doing school tomorrow. Dh is in school and has a lot of assignments to do online, and my dd's Spanish class decided to go ahead and meet since no one else had plans. I figured why not make it a full school day.

Mama Anna Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 We'll be doing about 85% of our school. Dh asked me to schedule so we could do a family picnic or something, so I juggled our morning work appropriately. I'd planned for it to be a regular day originally, though . . . :) Mama Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1bassoon Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yup, we are. I've been sick for a month, so we've not had great weeks of school. we're going to do projects to make it fun, though. Sugar cube pyramid, anyone? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Nope, we're taking off tomorrow completely (the past couple of weeks have been light weeks). It's one of DH's (very few) holidays, so I don't want to spend it doing schoolwork. Then again, we've been doing schoolwork for almost two months and have over 30 days so far, so I feel pretty good about the pace we're setting. (Now, Columbus Day is different -- DH doesn't have off that day, so we'll probably be doing school that day.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
