I have been so looking forward to this new year!!!  Houston’s in 2nd grade and Delanie started Kindergarten.  We started a little early, August 18th, so that we don’t have to stick rigidly to weekly schedule.  Some weeks we might have school all 5 days, but other weeks might only have 3 days. 

So far, the kids are doing great!  Lanie is just loving school.  I’ll have to take some pictures of them as they work.  Lanie asks every morning, "When does home school start?"  Houston whines, "Don’t remind her!"  As you can tell, Houston isn’t jumping for joy at the prospect of schooling.  But, he’s doing great too!

This year we are using the following curriculums:

Rod & Staff (phonics, reading)
Handwriting Without Tears
100 Easy Lessons (reading)
Math U See (2nd grade)
Saxon (Kindergarten)
Five in a Row (for Science, Geography, History)

I want to add Mystery of History and Math U See for Lanie.  I guess we’ll see if we can work that into our budget this fall.

Christian and Mason are doing Pre-School Activities in a Bag (as I can get them put together). 

Blessings!!
