Well....I have to say that I have a a fantastic and FUN first week of school with my children! Katie and Noah are excited to go downstairs to our classroom in the mornings, and they LOVE school with mommy! Mommy LOVES school with them as well!
Our first day was a little bit rough for Noah. With the new room, he just wanted to play and not sit still AT ALL. I know he is only three, but he could sit still for a story or to see what day it is lol! Anyway, we did school Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. By Thursday, he was more in a routine and overall it was a great week. They both learned their memory verse for the week, Noah really and truly learned the letter "A" and Katie is off to a great start with Right Start Math. I am teaching them both together with Math at this point, though I anticipate that later I will have to split when it starts moving along faster. I am interested to see how he does with it though. He has had no prior number "schooling" at all really, so I am anxious to see how the "blank slate" responds to Right Start. I am going to skip Katie a good bit in Reading, she is pretty bored with the beginning of the year stuff in kindergarten Abeka, so next week I plan to see how far she can go in the book.
So...we love school! Great week! Can't wait till next week!

Sep. 15, 2007 - Hello
I enjoyed reading your blog, love the before and after pics of the school room. We had a schoolroom when I first started with my older children long ago, but most of it was ruined in the flood we had so we disassembled it and now store a car in there. Now we do school here and there whereever we are comfortable. I miss having the stuff all in one place.
