Sorting out school work ...

Hello all..how are you all today..
Well yesterday i spent all day sorting out school work..all the topics are in folders and all worked has been placed in files..math books all put together and all art work collected and sorted out.
I actually love doing this..it always surprises me exactly how much we have done and how far they have progressed as well.

Project folders..

Some more project folders.

Iris's Math and English work,  some of it

Their combined work for the year

Folders,Math books and English folders

Fern's Homophone and Synonym folder

Autumn Poems and Moby Dick

Our little unit..school supplies all ready and waiting to be used.

I love home school..i get to share so much with the girls..yes it can be very frustrating but so rewarding as well.
I love that they want to learn..they are keen to get on with it and sometimes we spend more time doing our projects than we should. We kind of get carried away at times..but it is fun.
People have said i am "crazy" "mental"..you get the gist of it..the best one was "why? mine drive me mental "
Thing is folks i love it..and so wished i had done it with my older girls and son.
Its not expensive and lots of resources are available online and LEA..offer help if you choose it.
Others say about the socializing aspect..it hasn't made one bit of difference to either girl...they have friends and are shy when meeting new people but hey who isn't when your 9 and 6.
So far my inspections have gone well and i have passed with flying colours.
Its not only teaching them English,Math and Science but how to do other things.
For example:
Loading a washing machine
Folding laundry
Cake making
Gardening
Sewing
Knitting
As they get a little older it will be more about budgetting and using your money effectively,
all the extras that school doesn't teach them and i think its important they do learn these skills.
What do you think? Should things like these be taught at school?
take care
