I would like to share a 'snapshot' of a school day with my readers!
I know that many of you think I am nuts for homeschooling. And, yes, I am a little nuts.
But, I believe that it is worth it! I feel like I have fully adjusted to the 'homeschooling' way of life and I am enjoying the closeness with my kids and the routine of life.
We start with prayer/gospel reading/singing at 8:30. By Nine, the older boys are at work on their assignments. S & F have a folder for each day. P just has a lesson list that I created in Microsoft Excel. This semester we are studying Medieval History, Language Arts and Math, Spanish. We also have Football (P) and Martial Arts (S&F) and Catechism. Liam is reading like a champ and working on writing. He is also starting on Addition.
We are done with the core subjects by lunch. Spanish, Religion, and History are usually from 2-3. We take a break from 12-2 for lunch and chores.
It is going remarkably well. I was nervous about starting. I have a mother's helper 2 mornings a week. It is so helpful. She helps with the little ones and on some chores or tutoring the little boys.
OK, I have said too much. But, life is good. I know some days will be hard. But, I am very happy to be teaching all of my children again. Enjoy the pictures!
S&F doing K12 History online, their favorite subject!
S- Who almost always stands up at his desk.
F- Yes, he is holding a football at his desk!
Looking forward to recess, I guess!
Seamus practices journal writing. He decided to make a list of stuff in his drawer.
It sure cracked me up! Boys sure love their 'junk'!
