Homeschool Wrap Up Week 29

Mondays have been rough days in this house lately!  Bad attitudes have played a big part, not just in the children, but me as well. Hopefully next week will get off to a better start.  We did not have a full week of school again this week.  We missed one afternoon and one full day.  Next week though we should be able to do school every day.

Week 29 in our Homeschool

P.E.: We did two days of yoga and one day of Family Time Fitness.
