Frigid in the South

Okay, I know it is Christmastime. But really.17 degrees in North Carolina? With a high of 39? I mean, really?

We were supposed to attend the Homeschool Christmas Event at Latta Plantation http://www.lattaplantation.org/ . They offer great events - learning experiences in the main house, crafts etc for $5 per person.

However, most of it is outside, and I am not sure I am up to trekking around in 39 degree weather today - even if it is sunny.

The other option is the library. We like to go there to "do school". It is a nice change of pace. Amanda and I work on book work at a table, and Katie works on the computer in one of the comfy chairs by the window. We generally take home books on a new subjet of interest.

We have yet to start reading A Christmas Carol. Luckily, it is not a very long book. And our unit study is easily adjusted to the days when we can actually work on it.

The local public schools are in until 12/22. We will start our official Christmas break next Monday. Of course, Katie still needs to catch up on the SOS lessons, so she may still be working...
