I used my kindergarten teacher's manuals for the last time today. Boo did one lesson in math and two in phonics, and he is finished! I am so proud of him!
The teacher's manuals will be making their way to Oregon in a couple of weeks--back to my friend's homeschool supply shop where she sells used as well as new books. If I let her sell them for me, I get the money in future orders. Works for me! And I don't have to try to sell them myself. If you're wondering 'Why Oregon?' it is because we used to live there, and that is where I got my start in home educating.
Boo has asked not to start his grade 1 material until after we go on our mini-vacation, so he will have a couple of weeks break. I am planning an easier week for Belle next week also, so perhaps I will be able to get some organizing done around the house--maybe we can get our taxes ready, or I can do a bit of sewing.
Teacher Person has taken me up on my challenge (see my previous post), and she estimates she will need fewer hours to write her book than I will need to finish my project. I will need to keep busy--especially if she has regular time set for writing--since I only stitch when I am not too tired, or don't have other things to do.
Right now I have some other things to do, so I am away to do them.
