Update

Just thought you'd like an update on how school is going.  It's going very well.  I am super excited to teach my kids countries and cultures this year.  I am learning so much with them.  I guess I didn't pay attention or just forgot most of the stuff I learned in elementary.  Hopefully I will have a chance to post pictures later but as for now, I need to go make lunch.  The familiar sound of "I'm HUNGRY!"  Is being yelled at me.

Getting Warmed Up

We are finishing up our second week of school.  It's going very well.  I didn't mention in my last post that we are also using "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" for Natalie and also Explode the Code.  The curriculum is EXCELLENT!  Here's a picture from this week, not during school hours but still fun nonetheless.
