Homeschooling Eve

School starts tomorrow.

Three of my four children will be venturing back to public school. Kyndal will be a sophomore. She is very excited to get back to school, mostly so she can see her friends on a regular basis. But, she's ready! She's even read most of her first book. Eli and Brynne will be in the first grade and kindergarten, right across the hall from each other. We went today and met their teachers. They weren't wanting to start school until they stepped into it and felt the excitement. Now they can't wait! It's so exciting!

But just as exciting is the first day of school here at home. Dawson and I will be breaking in our new school room and curriculum. I've planned for the first two weeks only, to see how our timing will work out.

He seems to be very at ease today. In years past he has always been so keyed up about the first day of school. He hasn't said it, but I think he is relieved he isn't going to the public school tomorrow. I know I am relieved.

I am excited about tomorrow ... and scared. But, I'm mostly excited!

I've got everything ready for us.

  1. Enjoy the journey, I homeschooled my oldest daughter for primary school and it made such a difference in both our lives.
    I admit I spent more than my fair share of time doing midnight google searches- who ever knew there was such a thing as a "personal possessive pronoun"- nope not me!!

  3. How exciting! Even if Dawson doesn't say it yet, you have shown him you will do what it takes to help him and how much you care. You will do great!

CTC Math {Schoolhouse Review}

We found our groove with math this year. I found a curriculum that both of the kids respond well to and seem to enjoy (as much as one can enjoy math). We have spent the whole year learning the ins and outs of multiplication and were just a few lessons away from being ready to move onto the next year-long level on division. And then an opportunity to review the 12 Month Family Plan from  CTC Math became available. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic. I mean, why mess with the methods that have worked so well? When I was chosen to review the product I didn't go into it with the level of enthusiasm that it deserved. We have been using a dvd/workbook curriculum with great success. The 12 Month Family Plan from CTC Math is a web based curriculum. As we have not had a lot of luck with those types of programs, I went into this review with a negative attitude. And then my socks were knocked off by how great it is. In fact it is so great that we are going to continue to ...

Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt (Schoolhouse Review)

For the past several weeks we have been reviewing Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt and the Old Testament and Ancient Egypt Flashcards  from Veritas Press . As we were entering into our more easy-going summer schedule, and had just concluded a two-year Old Testament Bible course, I was happy to try out this product as it appeared to be something that Eli and Brynne could do together, alone, and would act as a review of the Old Testament presented in a different way. And I was right. Each Veritas Press Self-Paced History program includes 160 lessons teaching about 32 events in history. They are designed for children in grades 2-6, and it is recommended that the student be a minimum of 7 years of age at the time of the first lesson. What We Received We received a full one-year subscription, for one child, to the online Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt program and the accompanying Old Testament and Ancien...

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.
