Well, it was a late start! I didn't get up until 7:00am. I already know one or two of you did NOT get up late. That is okay because we worked at a regular pace and just did what we could until 4:00pm. It was fun though and we did have to go to the orthodontist at 1:30. So we didn't work the whole time. I did let them come up for air.
Working through the curriculum, I feel like I'm forgetting to teach some stuff. I keep forgetting we have the whole week to do "Week 1". So that was day 1.
Day 2 was much better with getting up on time. I was up before 6:00am and so was Sarah and Jamie wasn't far behind. Steph.... well, she was really tired. She got up around 8:30. We had our first Writing class and Sarah had her first science class. I think it went very well! I was excited when we left. I was very happy with the way it went even though I think we all were a little nervous how it would go. Praise the Lord! He is so faithful to help us and carry us through. I can't wait until tomorrow for mapping and our salt dough maps!
We will not be here at my house though, my basement is not ready yet. It is a mess.
I am concerned about getting all our required reading in. It seems by the time we get everything else done, we are too tired to read. I actually read a chapter out of the Ancient Egyptians book to them at dinner tonight. I guess it really doesn't matter how they get the information, as long as they get it. How is everyone else doing?

A late start...let's see...Jonathan is exhausted from his summer journeys. We are only doing TOG these 2 weeks and will pick up everything else after Labor Day.
We survived mapping and got some great pictures. I will post some later.
Just a reminder that there is a little more map work to be done. Jonathan is working on his right now while he watches the video from one of his camp weeks. It nearly brought me to tears as I watched Jason lead a group of his peers in worship. Jonathan was on bass guitar and Joel on piano. It makes me realize that it doesn't matter how tired Jonathan is this week, but to just do what he can, because there are more important things in life. Yes, we need to educate our children, but more importantly we need to train them to be Godly men and women.
Lisa,
Raising Godly children is exactly what the Lord has been speaking to my heart so clearly this past few weeks. Education is so immportant but eternity is what really matters!!
Thank you for the reminder!!!

Linda,
Right after our Bible we go right into reading. I am reading out loud to Brent and Eric and Billy is reading the book on his own. He told me yesterday that he understands things better when he reads them himself. Eric said next week he will read the History core book to himself. I will continue to read to Brent out loud first thing in the morning. Eric reads his lit. book at night time right before bed. Billy does it in the morning.
The boys enjoyed mapping and the salt dough maps.
