Homeschool Diary #2: 12 Tishrei, 5771 (Sukkos)

PLEASE JOIN US!  If you homeschool and plan your schedule week by week, please add a comment below (skipping the Mr Linky; more trouble than it’s worth)!

Other “weekly memes” I participate in that may or may not interest you:

It may come as no surprise that this is a “light” week, homeschooling-wise.  Ted’s off work until next weekend, and today kinda-sorta didn’t happen because he let me sleep in until after 11:00 (not something I should complain about).  It’s always sort of a weekend around here when Ted’s home – it throws the whole schedule off.

I will try to throw in a few academics tomorrow, but Wednesday – beyond davening – is probably a lost cause, as we’re having guests for almost all the meals.

Monday:  Mama asleep.  Trip to bank.  Running around outside.  Play with new toys from upsherin / birthday party.  Fun!

  • Outdoor time
  • Reading (one old, one new Bob Book)
  • Reading together:  Little House
  • Phonics:  Explode the Code

Tuesday: 

  • Davening
  • Signing circle time.
  • Chagim book:  Sukkot
  • Sukkos poem/story
  • Sukkos copywork page (to make up tonight, if time)
  • Math:  continue Miquon Orange & rods
  • Reading (one old, one new Bob Book)
  • We’ll see if we get this all done…

Wednesday:

  • Davening with Elisheva
  • Sukkos “strawberry box” craft with Elisheva and/or YM
  • Starfall book / activities

Thursday – Friday – Shabbos:  Sukkos!!!

    I will get my act together earlier and post our week next week. It has just been too crazy.

    It is cool that you like Starfall. We loved it and I am credit it completely for teaching Froggy to read.

    We almost tried the strawberry basket craft but went with this one instead. http://fairion.blogspot.com/2010/09/sukkot.html

    Saw that you participated in Menu Plan Monday. I also participated and have some vegetarian meals.

    I just started homeschooling too. I have my 3rd week posted for Preschool on my blog right now.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Did I miss week 3 and 4 or has this fallen by the wayside?

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused on kids, including a
