Good morning! Today is our first day back to school. Grace is going into 6th grade, Emily into 5th and Benjamin into 3rd.
We are using the Sonlight curriculum (core 3 and 5) and the girls are taking a Creative Writing and Spanish class once a week. Boy Scouts and Faith Keepers is also starting back up this evening, so it will be a busy day. Wish us luck!
Isn't it amazing it's school time already? We are starting day 12 today. :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would have had the patience to have home schooled my boys. Plus, I don't think they would have listened to me anyway. One is now a teacher in a classical Christian school. Started his first year last week.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, we are starting next week-hope your day goes great

Have a great year. Isn't it nice to get back into a routine after summer?
ReplyDeleteKelli, Grace, Emily and Benjamin,
ReplyDeleteI hope you all have a wonderful and exciting school year.
Kids, I know your mom is a wonderful teacher and roll model. You will have a lot of fun learning from her. Faith Keepers and Boy Scouts sound like fun, too. Enjoy!
Love, Debbi
It seems that vacation time is really over down there....
ReplyDeleteGood luck to anyone!
Wonderful! As a mom of six and a teacher (until about 5 yrs ago:) I feel your excitement of the first day of school:) Today is also the first day of college for our "baby" Amanda.

Im itching to start with one of my children (My son will start first grade homeschool) but we are estimating that the curriculum won't come in until begining of Sept.

Have a wonderful school year you guys! The first days back at the the fall routine are filled with so much excitement! My daughters are starting their college coursework this week, but we will not begin our subjects here at home for another two weeks. Still trying to finish up gardening stuff, school planning, last minute decluttering, etc. Hope your year is off to a GREAT start!

ReplyDeleteI love reading about your homeschool so any posts you have about how you do things is wonderful for us future homeschoolin mommas to take notes!!!
I was just reading about someone else using the same thing. Sounds like a well organized source. You'll be fine. I know everyone is excited to get started.
