And So it Begins....

Our full-time homeschooling, that is! We now have the basics of what we need for Reading, English, Math, Science and History. We'll be adding on a few more things, but overall we're set to go!

For Science we are starting with Apologia's Elementary Science - Exploring Creation with Astronomy. The book came today, and the boys were SO excited! I love it because its Biblically based, easy to read/teach from, and has fun notebook pages and projects every week. After just leafing through looking at the pictures, Isaac said "Oh, I'm definitely going to be an Astronaut. Definitely! I can find moonrocks to bring home, and if I find any aliens I'm going to tell them all about my family and God and Jesus!"

We are waiting on the corresponding project kit from Creation Sensation, and we'll be off and running. Science is one of my favorite subjects, I'm really excited to be able to teach it!

The only thing left on our must-have list is the Kindergarten cirriculum from My Father's World for Ezra, Rosetta Stone Spanish for all of us, and maybe a few other things like a music program and handwriting helps.

For History, Michael will be spending time reading out of Bill Bennett's "America: The Last Best Hope" to the children.

I am so blessed to be able to learn with my children as we go through our day together. It keeps us always busy, but it is so much fun!
