Weekly Wrap-Up – Already Fall

admin — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 01:12:49 +0000

First weekly wrap-up this school year. I can’t believe we already have 4 weeks under our belts.

We took a trip across to Greensboro, NC to visit family this weekend. 5 boys in one house – ages 8-15. It was crazy as usual.

We turned our trip home Monday into a field trip. We drove down the Blue Ridge Parkway from Boone, NC to Asheville stopping at many trails, overlooks, and historic sites along the way.

Craft Center at Moses Cone Manor

Mt Mitchell, highest East of Mississippi

Friday we took a trip to downtown Nashville to get library cards. The main branch of the Nashville library is huge. It is so exciting to have this resource for school. The boys loaded up on fiction and non-fiction books and have been voluntarily spending time reading.

Saturday, Jack spend all day at Adventure Science Center with Dad while David stayed home to have an attitude adjustment.

After church Sunday, we spend a few hours exploring the Tennessee State Museum and stopped back by the library again for more books.

That’s our week. Read other weekly wrap-ups at one of my favorite sites Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers.

Our favorite Nashville field trips -

Adventure Science Center – Homeschoolers qualify for the educational discount on memberships!
Lane Motor Museum – Even if you are not a classic car aficionado, this inexpensive museum has some fascinating exhibits, including amphibious vehicles.
Nashville Zoo – Our kids will go for the Jungle Gym alone.
Discovery Center at Murfee Springs – The Fire Truck and Train exhibits were big hits.
Tennessee Agricultural Museum – We attended a class focusing on George Washington and Jack got to spin cotton. Self-guided tours are free.

Thanks to Kelli for giving me something to post by hosting Fave Fridays.
