Checking in really quickly from the library...

We've completed our 3rd week of school and we're right on track, things are going really well. We're learning tons already (it's amazing how much you re-learn when you teach your children!!). Chad advised that I should cut down some on history since there just aren't enough hours in the day for everything, so I started doing history only 1-2 days per week now, instead of most days. I think that will help bring more balance.

The weeks have been flying by, we're busy pretty much all day long now. We average about 4 hours of school + reading each day, and I'm feeling really good about our daily "schedule"-- really it's just a loose structure. I am never bored, that's for sure! I think my days of boredom ended when I had Nathan, haha. No time to be bored anymore!!

We've made many trips to the library and gotten some great books. I'm realizing what a valuable resource the library really is.  The children have listened to a different book on CD every week during their rest time. Their most recent favorites have been the story of Moses, Peter Pan and Little House in the Big Woods. It's neat that our library has a good selection of these unabridged versions and that they can hear some great reading during their rest time (that I don't have to do, haha).

That's about all the news for now! Wish I had pictures to post, but our laptop gave out and I can't upload pictures on the library computers.  Hopefully soon, we've done some fun crafts and activities that I'd love to share. Can't believe September is almost halfway over!
