Quiver0f10 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Today is our last day until the 1st! I really need this break. :D Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I have to drive up to Virginia to bring my daughter home for Thanksgiving, and my son has to go with me, since my husband can't take time off to stay home with him this time. So, I figured we might as well try to make some use of the time on the road. We're doing the ancients this year, and it just so happens that the big Tut exhibit is at a museum in Atlanta. We can pass right through Atlanta if we spend a few extra hours on the road. So, I bought us tickets to go to the exhibit on Monday.And we're going to the World of Coke that afternoon, just for fun. At this point, the plan is for my son to take reading and anything else he can do in his lap along in the car. And the Tut exhibit will count as a field trip. But we'll be away from our desks all week. And, despite the fact that we're already behind schedule, I admit I'm looking forward to the break.

Rich with Kids Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Yep!!! :w00t: Today is our last day, as well. I told them on Monday we'd break when they finished up their work for the week. They were all up by 6:00 this a.m. and we have math to finish and then we're done! :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaKinVA Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Due to sick days, we're schooling through Wednesday, but taking Thurs-Sunday off. Thursday -- it's meal preparation Friday -- it's put up the Christmas Tree, and start wrapping presents, maybe dh will bake some ch. chip cookies with the kiddos (place & bake kind... no muss, no fuss). Saturday -- We're cleaning the baby nook & toy storage area, and maybe, if I feel like it, I'll bake another type of cookie or candy. Sunday, our normally scheduled program :D And, Monday -- it's school, school, school until the Saturday before Christmas. With the baby coming, we have to get as much done as possible before Dec. 31st. From then on, it's baby-watch at the Kanak Household.

elegantlion Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 We are taking off all of next week. :D:D It will be a nice break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyWImom Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 We would be, but because both dc have been sick, we haven't done a regular schedule in over a week. We're packing to go out of town for the weekend, so I am doing school Mon-Wed and Friday. We are way behind.:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in NH Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Today isour last day too, until the 1st. We are going away and only bringing "fun" reading material! No internet where we will be though, i think i need a break from "srceen time" anyway! jenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 It depends on whether ds wants to put in some extra time today. Even if he doesn't, he will only have half a day tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bassoon Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Sigh. No. With all the chaos around here, we've had two lousy weeks of school. I'm hoping, HOPING that we can have good days tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday. We're off traveling on Wednesday. I think if we'd had normal weeks lately, I'd make tomorrow our last day.

Tutor Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 through New Year's Day. However, I took in two daycare kids, and now we are a tad behind in a couple things, so we will use our daycare-free days to catch up on some subjects, so we'll be doing math and grammar lightly when we would normally be off.

Plucky Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I'm really torn. It makes sense to take off until the 1st for us, but my 9th grader is behind in History and Biology. I really want to catch up. I made plans for him to do this, but will we do it? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAR120C Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 We're taking off all of next week. DH is off work except probably one half-day (his choice - just to get some things done) and we're locking the doors and turning off the phone and just having a week of family time!! :D We're not as caught up as I'd like to be, but we definitely need the break! DS will still practice flute and keep up on minimal language study (and I have a test to study for myself...) so we won't completely stagnate, but no particular assignments, no outside events, and plenty of time for board games and card games and baking! :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 No, we still have school on Monday, Tuesday and part of Wednesday. I'm hoping to finish early on Wednesday to start the baking that needs to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Well, we're on week 12 this week and I'm stretching out to include M-W of next week. Then, nothing more until Dec 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
