We will officially start school on Friday, August 22nd. Why Friday? Why not? I plan on going to Brookfield Zoo with the kids to start the year off with FUN! I also planned on the 25th a little project making gooey worms.
We have a busy schedule planned out so pray for a successful year. I will also take more pictures this year post what we have been doing. Our ups and downs. Good days and bad.

Joshua will be sitting in on all of Anna's history and literature lessons. Whatever he soaks up during that time I will be happy. If he falls asleep, even better.
I am blessed to have a husband who supports homeschooling. I am blessed that the Lord has put on my heart to home school. I have truly enjoyed my children more these past 2 years than when I was away working. I have grown so much with my husbands support. Thank you Lord for your patience and thank you Karl for your love. I couldn't do it without you! Thank you Lord!!

Whew, that's quite a list! Makes me glad I'm just tackling Preschool this year...
Week 1 - the letter A
Week 2 - the letter B
...and so on...
Looking forward to "Mommy Home Ec" on Fridays! :)
It seems like a lot but truly it isn't (I hope). Most classes we will spend about 30 minutes a day and others no more than an hour. It all depends if the kids can get down and concentrate. I don't expect miracles. We will have mornings when we won't even school. I will take LIFE as it comes ;) with a smile.
I never even did the alphabet with Joshua. Sounds like a nice simply, relaxed schedule. Have fun with Abigail this year!!
