Back to VINTAGE Homeschool 2014



I have updated this post to offer you our EXCLUSIVE AKGVH FREE Ready for School Vintage Mini Pack!

Well, we are coming around the corner here in San Diego County for the new 2014 school year. We start our new year on September 2, the day after Labor Day.  It just does NOT seem right to go back to school in August. I mean, why else was the song titled "See You in September"???!!! 

The Happenings - See You In September - 1966 



If you are a Frankie Valli fan, DIG this:

Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons 

 

Leave us NOT forget 'Ol Blue Eyes and his September song...

 

Yes, summer here near the southern pacific coast is STILL SIZZLING in August. Why, we are just now beginning to put our vintage class room together for the 2014/2015 school year. After cleaning up our room from the last school year, we start changing our bulletin board and window decos to enhance our Autumn curriculum...this year I got my son-in-law in on the action. 

Since we are in FIRE country and the Autumn being our most FIRE prone months, we ALWAYS do a Forestry Unit featuring Smokey the Bear





When school begins, we will post our Smokey the Bear and FIRE Safety activities and printables, so be sure to sign up NOW for our Newsletter so you do NOT miss out!!

The Circus always comes to San Diego County in August so we like to cover it during our first week in school:









And boy do we have LOTS of Circus activities and printables to add to our unit for the coming school year. So again, you will NOT want to miss out on those!

Next we add our monkeys to extend our Rainforest. And since we get over-run with "meat eater" bees during the month of September, we add them to our September studies as well:



 Check out our Rainforest bulletin board. We add to it every year:




Be sure to come back and check out our Rainforest and Bee activities and printables this year, we will have OODLES of stuff!!!

If you also want to deco your room with a vintage theme this year, check out our AKGVH pathway2vintage eBay store. We will be listing some vintage bulletin board items, workbooks, textbooks and more!!! So be sure to add us to your "FAVORITES" and check back often!!
