I think this will be the last month of Workbox Wednesday, I have decided to cut back and try to enjoy blogging again without being stressed out!!   I’ll be cutting back on a lot.  I use to enjoy blogging and now it’s become a stressor!  I will still be doing reviews and plan to continue Field Trip Friday, Weekly Wrap Up and Share it Saturday each week.  I have a 31 Day Field Trip Series I’m working on for July….but other than that, I am not aiming to post daily as I have been!  Thanks for reading, I hope you will keep checking in!

Workbox Wednesday– admitting defeat!

So…I still have yet to complete the Chinese worksheets, and well the last 2 weeks we have been pretty low key with schooling, and nothing new in the boxes :/  I have a to do list a mile long and have been playing ‘catch up’ it seems every day!  I’ve been analyzing (and probably over analyzing) what it is about April/May time frame.  I always seem to be in a funk, super tired and my blogging always takes a dip during this time frame (check my archives, it shows!).  I’ve determined it’s allergy related.  I’m just run down!  I digress…. I think there are many other factors that come into play here too…it’s getting towards the end of the school year (though we year round, but I think I’m just antsy to move onto the next thing), I am busy planning for the next thing, The mile long to do list stresses me out, I’m having a flare (fibromyalgia/lupus related) and well….I guess I’m not SUPERWOMAN after all!  ha!  I already knew that part, but others seemed not to believe it.

So….here it is, the 2nd workbox Wednesday of the month, and not post to put up!  I do have lots of ideas, and hope to bring you something very soon.  I have another Animal Trackers Unit (Lions)…those darn Chinese worksheets that are KILLING ME!….a George Washington round up for the ABCs of American History, lots of reviews and more….  I’ll get to it all, eventually….one thing at a time. 

So again…since people always ask me how I do it all…. I don’t!  Some days I get more done than others, and well…these days seem to be on the lesser end.

I will say that we have been having a blast with several of our review products and have really been focusing solely on those.  We just finished up our Lewis and Clark Unit Study review and it will post on Friday (fingers crossed).  We are starting a review with Homeschooling in the Woods on the Civil War this week.  We have been chugging away with the IEW curriculum for review, Easy Piano, and some others! 

I’ve been busy planning for the next round of things too and ordering a few things here and there.  I’ll be posting our plans soon! 

Please visit my co-hosts and link up any thing you’d like to share!  I have a weekend getaway this weekend and I’m hoping it rejuvenates me!

So….I feel asleep early last night and have been behind all week!  Nothing new to post for WW.  Sorry!  But I do have the link up and plan to have more CHINESE WORKSHEETS next week (if I get them finished, fingers crossed!).

I have lots of reviews coming up over the next 2 weeks too!

See also these EARTH Themed Activities from our Earth Science unit.  We are repeated some of this activities from last year, and using some of the same printables. 

More FREE Printables:

Earth Day FREE from Teacher’s Pay Teachers
Earth Day Fun by Embark on the Journey
Earth Day: The World We Live In Emergent Reader from Teacher’s Pay Teachers

Streaming:

We will also be watching a few videos from Visual Learning Systems that are Earth Science related and doing the worksheets and projects.

In the Boxes:

Using the free printables above, here are a few that I added to or tweaked a bit for our boxes (others are just as they were printed).

Instead of dotted dice, I use numbered dice so they have to add, instead of count!

For these subtraction cards, I added earth shaped erasers as manipulatives, I didn’t include the answer cards, instead he can write the answer with dry erase marker! 

For younger kids, use this sheet (R) as a magnet page with pompom magnets!

For Life of Fred we are doing counting by 5s, so this was a perfect one to throw in!

I included the cards for the ABC order so he can put them in order and then copy, and he is going to love this cursive copy sheet!

Some science project fun with The Magic School Bus: Going Green and Tedcotoys Recycling Kids Educational Science Activity Kit

Added some M&D stickers to find the Es to accent this page

We are doing some other fun stuff from the free printables listed above!  C is going to be surprised I replaced almost every subject with an Earth Day themed activity! 

And before Z even knew it was Earth Day, he requested an Earth birthday cake for his birthday…so that will be a project this week too!
