January 7,2011

Wow, what a year!!
Many changes have been made this year.  We actually 'seem' somewhat organized!!
First of all, we're waking up at 8am.  Well, I'm waking them up at 8am;) they drag out of bed after about 30 minutes of being pushed around.

I am also making breakfast,
usually.
So this is a shocker!!

We have decided to do 'cooking day/unit study day' on Wednesday, so the followers that joined for the curriculum, I will add a day once a week.

I found this awesome site created by Kaplan. (the tutoring company)  It can be either a supplemental or a curriculum. 

It's called, 'Head of the Class' and has everything from Spanish, Art and Math.  A little more traditional then animated but it works and the kids really enjoy it.  Best part, Rachel decided to move to grade 5, as most of her friends are older.  Is that a problem? No, i simply have her take the grade 5 assessment (which actually won't be out till later this month) and it will fill in the gaps with what she doesn't know.
I enrolled Gracie in grade 3.  The had those weird birthdays so i started them late, but I think they've caught up.

Next post-
Day 1
