SWR = Spell to Write and Read

Little by little Jesus is bringing the things I want to  use for this next year into our home. Either from EBay or classifieds or the products' main home page. Praise the Lord for His guidance and provision.

I've been trying to figure out how to use SWR like it's supposed to. I'm still kinda confused, but I guess the more I go over it the more it'll sink in. It seems like we don't start right out with the spelling words. I think we just do the phonograms which is good since they already know most of them. I just didn't do any spelling rules with them last time. Plus they'll be writing in cursive which is probably going to take a while. That will make the lessons drag and I'm not looking forward to that part.

In everything else our home school is shaping up. I keep reminding the children that their summer of fun and doing basically nothing is almost over. I think they'll like the change though because they always seem happier on a schedule. Our new baby is integrated into the schedule by now (those first six weeks he wasn't though) so starting back with school should be easier. I do have a 1yo. as well, but she likes to tag after her brother and sister and do what they do so I'll just give her something that looks like what we're doing and she can still listen in to the lessons. She actually retains a lot of what's going on...

So, the year is shaping up. I still need money for new notebooks and pencils and stuff. I don't have anymore printer cartridges to bring into Staples and Office Max for free coupons so I'll be missing those this year. I'll just ask Jesus to provide.

Hey, it'd been a while since I'd "gotten out" and visited, and I wanted to spend a very rainy day, our last before school started, getting out to see friends. I'm glad to see that things are coming together for you. I am still in awe of your email regarding delivering your own baby. It's awesome, and I hope you'll share it (at least parts of it), with your readers.

God bless,
