I have been checking out a lot of other blogs lately to try and get the hang of this. In doing so, I have come across some great info (just haven't come across on how to make my blog more interesting yet!). I also discovered that I haven't discussed our style of homeschooling yet. Here we go.........

We started out schooling at home with school desks and the whole classroom thing. That lasted for about two years  Then I started to get a little more brave! We added unit studies and tried the notebook approach. We finally started to have fun in school  I know the traditional style works great for some...... it just didn't work for us.  We enjoyed going to the Greek Fair when we studied Ancient Greece, doing our Zoo Book when we studied animals and visited the zoo, etc.... The real biggie was going to China while doing our unit study on China! Now that the boys are older, it's getting to be more of a challenge.

This year, D is doing: Teaching Textbooks for Alg. 2, BJU US History, Apologia's Human Body, 150 Great Books & Movies As Literature, CLP's English, Spanish 2, Political Philosophies by Bluestocking Guide (semester 1), SAT and College Prep Course for the Christian Student (semester 2) and Words of Wisdom - a study of Job, Psalms, & Proverbs.

M is using: BJU Pre-Algebra, CLP's English, 150 Great Books & Movies as Literature, Drive Thru History with extra projects from Dinah Zike's Big Book of US History, Apologia's Biology 1 and Words of Wisdom - a study of Job, Psalms, and Proverbs.

With L, I use a hodge podge of various websites (Enchanted Learning, first-school, soft school, ect). I would LOVE to get her to the point of lap books. I think the hands-on would be good for her.

Speaking of L, she responds to her name now - Praise God!!!!!!!! She is not quite 6 months old hearing age. She "babbles" up a storm and is being more vocal. L & A took swim lessons last week and did great. Day one, L was crying and A cried on day 2. By day 3, they were both swimming under water and loving it

So, this is all probably way more than you wanted to know!
