    ~ The Math I give thumbs up to ~

    If  I ever suggest a math program it is Math-U-See.  I really like it because it hits all the learning styles all in one program all the way threw.  I have been using it with my boys for 8 years now.  If there is a math trick to help understand or remember something Steve Demi has it.There is so much curriculum out there but this is a gem.

    We use MUS for both of our boys, too, and it has worked really well for us. I just found out that Steve is going to be at our homeschool conference this year, so I am excited to see him in person. We have enjoyed watching him on the tapes.

    I'm so happy to read of another family that has found MUS to be a blessing. We just purchased the Primer for our oldest (5 yrs. old). She and I, can hardly wait to get started on it.

    I have loved looking over your blog! As a 'new' homeschool mom, I'm always looking for ideas and thoughts on anything homeschooling. I look forward to reading what you have to share as you raise your sons to be 4 Godly men. :)
