No School Week

We've had no school here for the past week or so. It must be a "teacher workweek"! Between trying to figure out stuff for moving and trying to pack and clean--we've been slacking when it comes to school. Plus, I desperately need to get the next year in Saxon math and I keep putting it off, hoping to find it second-hand somewhere for a steal. That is one thing about home schooling: it can be as expensive or cheap as you make it. If you're cool with using toy soldiers or beans (that you already have) as manipulatives or finding your curriculum second-hand then home schooling isn't THAT pricey. But, if every educational book and toy entices you (as it does me) then home schooling can get expensive, QUICK! I've had to "just say no" to some books, especially if we can find them at the library. We'll get back on track today! Otherwise our no school week could turn into a no school month . . .
