We had planned on doing school throughout the whole Summer to see if we really liked homeschooling. We knew right away that we did. Life hit & we've been busy for weeks now. But at least a few days a week the girls ask, no BEG, "can we have school today." I obviously oblige.
Cyra's loving her history book. She's learning about each of the Presidents still. I'm loving it too. Amazing how much I didn't pay attention in school. I was a good faker I guess. I pretty much got straight A's. Not sure how that happened.
I finally decided on a math & english curriculum. We went w/ Mathusee & Rod & Staff. We haven't started either of them though. I'm waiting until I have a few days alone next week to plan my year.
Kenady's favorite so far is math. Last week we set up "bus stops" w/ little doll houses. I gave her 5 "people" and asked her to come up w/ all the different addition sentences she could. She'd put 1 person at the first stop then divide up the rest among the other stops. She had a great time & it gave me a few minutes to help Cyra w/ her work.
So posts will be few & far between until we officially start this fall. We're kicking off our first day on Sept 8 w/ a "not going back to school" party at Splash swim center.
I'm trying to get things in order so the year will be as smooth as possible.
