I thought I was done. I really did. I mean, I have units here with notebooking pages, lapbooking components, I have the entire POE unit printed....2 older sets, 2 younger sets, and 2 sets of assorted pages that we can use with David and Emily (trust me...my printer is smokin' after all this printing. I'm on ink cartridge #3 and I believe paper pack 5, but I lost count on that....it's ALOT...I really need a good duplex printer I think...)
Either way, I stumbled on some more...and I have yet to really sit down with it all and piece it into some coherent footprint for us to use!
Someone want to share with me some good reasons as to why I do this?
Why, when I have a perfectly good curriculum all right in front of me, complete with books, a few projects, all the papers needed, my bookcases full of math and English studies, WHY WHY WHY must I always start tweaking and adding????
What's wrong with being a boxed curriculum sort of mom?
What guilt is there in simply using the curriculum I've paid good money for AS-IS??
Ok. Doesn't matter now. I've done strolled 'net land and found things that I simply must add in. I have found pages of creative, fun, witty homeschool moms sharing such interesting goodies, I just can't avoid the inevitable portion of my nature that causes me to tweak almost endlessly. There are just too many great ideas out there. Too many to dismiss.
And after all I've added so far...here are some more:
Our Journey Westward blog...
The 42Explore Thematic Pathfinders site has a great Colonial America page I'll be using to lay things out and glean ideas from...
and this neat yarn boat...sure, it's a sailboat, but that's ok...it's going to be our Mayflower anyway!
And a paper mache boat we can easily turn into the Mayflower...
I'm going to have to stop wandering and say enough is enough....stick to what you have...stop looking over the fence at other folks' school yards...
unless, of course, you have some other pages I might want to check out....just to be neighborly, you know...
