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!

Are Jews an "underrepresented community" in children’s publishing?

I applied for a writing award yesterday. I'm not going to get it, but that's not what I wanted to share with you. Here's what I wanted to share. This box:   I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white. Because as everybody knows, Jews control the media. (do we???) If anything, some people say, Jews are over -represented in publishing. And yet. Some definitions are careful not to include people like me. Like this random definition from the State of California which defines underrepresented for some very specific business purposes as: "an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identi
