Happy Thanksgiving Eh!
It's our Canadian Thanksgiving today, so I have a bit of free time to update. We've been busy, busy, busy!
After getting up at 0630 and leaving camp every Saturday morning to drive into the city for 3on3 hockey, CKW decided that riding competitively was more important to him than playing rep (competitive) hockey, so a few weeks ago a new member of our family arrived: Top Notch Tuppence, a large, Welsh cross pony who has shown hunters, jumpers and evented - just what CKW needs!
They hit it off immediately and CKW has been riding almost every day since his arrival!
We've been 'doing school' four days per week, approximately 3.5 hours each day and then heading out to the barn for the afternoon. CKW attends an after school group for a couple of hours every afternoon and then continues on to sports and/or piano in the evenings. During the day on Wednesdays, we get together with our local homeschool group and socialise. Great for him to have kids to run around with and really great for me to have other homeschooling parents to talk to. Seriously, I need the socialisation waaaaay more than he does!
Moving Beyond the Page (MBtP) continues to be our main curriculum spine for language arts and social science. I continue to be impressed by this curriculum! Maths is covered with Teaching Textbooks, Singapore Math, Life of Fred, and various iPad apps - CKW is a maths lover! We are also enjoying My Pals Are Here! for science and supplement with the Homeschool Science Program at our local city science centre. Our Canadian social science content is from Donna Ward but I plan to purchase CBC's Canada: A People's History as CKW finds Donna Ward a bit dry, and I have to admit that I concur! We are slogging though Easy Grammar and Daily Grams but I'm not impressed with teaching grammar based entirely upon prepositions and plan to invest in Michael Clay Thompson's curriculum next year, as long as we have the time to fit it in along with MBtP. CKW enjoys all the 'Detective' workbooks from The Critical Thinking Company and on days that I am not feeling well, I am very thankful for workbooks and computer based curriculum!
Fall is my favourite season - hope you are enjoying it as much as we are!

Track and Field Meet
A few of our local homeschool groups got together to have a track and field meet. CKW competed in the 80m, 200m, 400m, 800m, broad jump, long jump, triple jump and the ball put (shot put was for the older students). He was victorious in the long jump and did very well in the remainder of the events, finishing in second place overall in Boys 7-9 Group.
Ball Put
End of the 800 Metre Race!

I meant to write weekly updates... Honest!
I don't know how she does it...
And no, I don't mean Kate Reddy or Sarah Jessica Parker. I mean all the homeschool bloggers who manage to both homeschool their children and update their blogs!
I meant to write weekly updates, so that I would have them to refer to in later years, but time seems to get away from me every single day. Our days have been going well, we've just been super busy with at home lessons, out of home extras, and sports - oh my doG the sports! Swimming, karate, riding, zumba, skating, and hockey, hockey, hockey. Seems CKW has found his religion...

However I will be back - I promise! With an actual homeschooling update... Tomorrow?

Physical Education
CKW has been involved in tonnes of physical activities this summer: baseball, soccer, horseback riding, swimming, skating, hockey, and at camp this year he learned to canoe, kayak, sail, and rock climb. This past month he has been at the pool at 0830 and swimming until 0930 from Monday to Friday. It has paid off in spades!
CKW successfully completed both Levels 5 and 6 in the Red Cross Swim Kids program and finished up his first ever timed distance swim of 75 metres in 2 minutes and 38 seconds. Way To Go!
