Solar System and Chemical Reactions

We have been learning lots of fascinating things. For the past two weeks we have been doing a little solar system study. We also did a science class with a little friend on chemical reactions. Today we are going to finish up the solar system study with the moon. We will make a poster of the phases of the moon! It should be fun!!!

I am really loving homeschooling so far, but I wasn't prepared for how mentally exhausting it would be. It really takes a lot out of me. I find I just don't have the energy to do a lot of activities I used to do more often before. But, we are still in the adjustment phase. Also, since undertaking the homeschooling job, I have a greater appreciation for what public school teachers do. They have a hard job, and I am grateful to them for all their work!
