One thing the kids' school does is Morning Work.

When they arrive in the morning, they sit down and have a page of things to do. It can be a puzzle, word search, math problems, quiz, etc.

But it gives them an easy start to the day. I think I will incorporate this, especially if one is waiting for the other to start or finish breakfast or talk to Mom, etc.

Was thinking for Ian (who will be in 1st) that I would pull pages from old Highlights magazines for picture searches; I'm sure I can find lots of other quick things, too.

Am debating whether to do Sonlight Core 3 for the both of them. Ian would be just "auditing" it. Corinne has expressed an interest in returning to Calvert, since it involved lots of writing, and she now loves that. But it was so dry! However, she also liked having a "teacher" to send grades into. Maybe we'll do Calvert and just do history our own way with Sonlight .... Too many choices!
