First Day of School

We started our first day of school on Monday. School is on the main floor this year. We hope to start working on the basement in October or November. Ben started 2nd grade. He will be studying the Middle Ages for History and Earth Science and Astronomy for Science. He also will continue phonics, language, handwriting, logic, math and reading. Mia started Kindergarten. She got her shots from the doctor on Tuesday. She has started Math and Phonics. She also is continuing to work on her handwriting and reading. Joe started preschool. We are studying a letter a week. The kids are working together more this year. We have time scheduled for Ben and Joe to read together or use the computer and Mia and Joe are working together on a number of activities. This has helped greatly. Our Fridays will be used for catch-up or art and music, mapping, and logic. It is wonderful to be back full swing into things, but we'll miss the summer.
