We have been working hard on homeschool for 23 weeks now. On Monday we will have been at it a full four weeks longer than the government schools. All of us are going to be very ready for a well deserved spring break. Lorena’s brother Jorge is planning to bring his wife, Mari, and two kids, Jorgito and Valeria to Oregon during their Easter vacation which is different than the government school spring break. We will take both of those weeks off and should still be over three weeks ahead. The plan is for Kelly and Christian to start their annual research reports on Fools Day, April 1. That will give them nine or ten weeks to do the research and write the reports. They are thinking about what they will study, but have not picked anything yet.
Our friends Al and Anthony Rizos have invited us to go to a Boy Scout camp with them in Southern California in June. That is toward the end of the time we like to go to Mexico to avoid allergies, so what we are thinking of doing is sending Lorena and the kids to Mexico to visit Grandpa Lauro and Grandma Conchita as soon as school is out. On the way back, I will meet Christian at the camp with Al and Anthony. It should be a great time. The good part is that we could go to meeting on Sunday morning in Bakersfield, go to the camp, and the then get home in time for meeting the next week. There are lots of logistics, but i think we can work it out.
The big weekend plans include doing the taxes and working on getting Kelly’s first two homeschool stories formated properly to put up on the web and to print out for her records. She has made a great effort and it will be fun to help her learn how to polish up her final product for publication.
