Homeschool Weeks 2-3

PWe have completed 3 weeks of school!!  So far we are really loving it but still trying to get into a good routine.  We started co-op last week.  The boys were so excited to start.  They are both taking two classes.  Camaron has a couple of kids in his class from our new church.  Colt is meeting new kids and really likes his teachers.  I think it will be a great year! 

Homeschool Week 1 - My Father's World

We started school this week! The boys were so excited to finally be starting! Camaron is using My Father's World First Grade curriculum. He already completed the Kindergarten curriculum last year and even though he is suppose to be in kindergarten we are going to do this first grade curriculum and slow down when needed. Colt is also using My Father's World. He will be using the Rome to Reformation curriculum. He also has several other subjects that we add. He will continue with Singapore Math and we are going to take a writing class at co-op. We will also all do an science class at co-op. It is Apologia's Swimming Creatures. The boys are beyond excited to start our new adventure at co-op next week. This week we discussed and read about the founding of Rome. We started talking about the Punic wars and Augustus. It amazes me how much the boys love to hear about history.

BACK TO SCHOOL!

I spent most of August getting ready for school.  We painted the room, added new bookshelves, and did some over all organizing. The boys were begging for weeks to start school but I needed to order curriculum and then get supplies!  We finally settled on a start date of September 3, 2013.  Cam will be in Kindergarten.  He did complete a kindergarten curriculum last year but his birthday falls after the cut off so he is technically a kindergarten student this year.  I want him to continue to be with kids his age.  Colt will be in fifth grade this year!  It is going to be a fun year!
