Homeschool Kick-Off!!

We started school last week, the day after Labor Day. AFM & ANM were so excited! I bought them two new school clothes outfits. AFM has not taken her's off all week, even though there is food smeared down the front and dust from Friday's hike. I'll have to sneak into her room tonight and throw it into the wash.

I bought Manager's of their Home, by Steve and Teri Maxwell. This is a very structured planning book. Since David is so young and throws my schedule off most of the time, I have used the MOTH book as a guideline. AFM and ANM know exactly what we are going to do next.

Adira discovered she loves Mind Benders by Bright Minds. The exercises develop reading comprehension, logic and problem solving. This made her father jump for joy because problem solving is his favorite thing to do in life. I tried to get her to stop doing the exercises, but she insisted that she really likes them, so on the second day of school she finished up to page #13 (one exercise per page).
