First week of School

It has begun.  The Sikes homeschool 2009-2010 school year began officially on Monday.  I cannot believe that we are over half way through Sarah's 'formal' education as she began 7th grade this year.  It seems just yesterday was her first day of kindergarten!  I remember the first homeschool conference I went to I heard the man speak who wrote the science curriculum that I knew I would want to use for Jr. High/High School and I thought to myself, "That is so far away!"  Well, this year I bought that curriculum!  I can't believe that my baby girl is on the verge of being a young woman!  Her favorite subject this year is literature as she is doing a year long Lord of the Rings literature study.  She is also doing the basics (Grammar, 7th Grade Math, American History, General Science) along with Home Ec, Art and American Sign Language.

At the same time we have begun kindergarten with Timothy.  (Well, truthfully K-4 since he won't be 5 till after Thanksgiving.  We are doing a modified Kindergarten, minus the reading/handwriting.  Next year we will do the full Kindergarten program.)  School with Timothy is quite an adventure!  He is so different than Sarah was at the same age that I am learning how to teach all over again! 

Enjoying every minute of it,
Shannon
