A bit later than I was hoping for, but we've been busy!
I had planned to take the past week off and celebrate not being stuck in school...but the kids were eager to get back into normal learning. The classroom isn't completely finished (I still have to find the right trim, some area rugs, furniture...ahh!), but it's functional enough for now. :)
We've been easing into our workload. The first few weeks we're just focusing on Language Arts, Math, and our elective classes (ie: art, health/life skills). Mid to end September we're going to add in Social Studies and Science.
Reese is taking it really well. Today is Saturday, and we ended up downstairs working because he WANTS to. My son wants to work!!! Lauren is also interested, but she's still programmed for 'real school'. She's really hard on herself for no reason at all - she forgets that she isn't competing against 30 other kids. She has one on one, and she's the only one doing the work at her level. Yet if everything she does isn't perfect, it isn't good enough for her. I'm hoping she'll snap out of that soon...the world won't end if her '2' looks like a 'Z' for a bit longer! Besides, that's why we have tracing sheets for practice. :)
This is a short one - I left the camera downstairs and the battery died...I'll have to upload pictures this week or next weekend.
