First Day of School

2010-2011 School Year

Lilly - 2nd Grade

This year - multiplication and division! She had fun with math blocks and multiples of 2 last week.

Garret - 4th Grade

Garret has been having a great time with a language study this past week. I can tell his imagination will take him far in his writing this year. I've assured him that his math book is easy.

Bret - 7th Grade

So, Bret is in real school now!! He's working on his second year grammar. He was thrilled (hee, hee) to learn all about Participle Phrases last week! But it's not all that bad. He gets to learn Physical Science with some outstanding young men. Writing class, Bible class - it's good to be in Junior High!

Rachel - 9th Grade

Highschool - wow! Rachel's looking forward to an online Spanish class. We've purchased a microscope, some slides and look forward to having two of Rachel's friends come to our house each week to study Biology together!

There are many other exciting things in store for us this year. Our Bible time is centered around the Acts of the Apostles. Every morning we listen to another story from the Your Story Hour collection. It's an exciting way to learn what happened in the Book of Acts.

I'm going to concentrate on learning large sections of scripture, beginning with I Corinthians 13. We're also finally beginning our Mystery of History II! I love history, love this Christ-centered book, and I'm so excited for the opportunity to share it with my three youngest children.

Just to let you know we're still real, and no every day didn't go as planned last week. The phone rang and I had to answer it. We cried over hand writing. I had to take a nap after I finished teaching Bret his grammar lesson, and Lilly had way too much free time!

Week 2 - here we come!
