So far, homeschooling has not been the drudgery I was worried it may be. We are actually having lots of fun. There's something rewarding about being a integral part of your children's learning and growing. Now, not every moment is rosy, but that's part of learning right? For me and them. This embarking year we are using Sonlight (Core B) curriculum. It's really great! Here's a rundown of what we're doing this semester (it is all laid out for me in a scheduled lesson plan).
Read-Aloud Book list:
Children's Everyday Bible
A Family Treasury of Little Golden Books
A Treasury of Mother Goose Rhyme
Eric Carle's Animals Animals
Berenstain Bears Big Book of Science and Nature
The Lion Storyteller Bedtime Book
My First Picture Dictionary
Things People Do
(RED-these are my kid's FAVORITES)
Math (Horizon)
Handwriting (Handwriting Without Tears)
Language Arts (Sonlight's program)

Wow, sounds like you have everything organized and are doing well! Does Chloe have glasses? They are so cute on her!
They are play glasses from her aunt and uncle's clinic. =)
So glad it's going well for you! Looks like you're doing great!
Great pics!
Sonlight is very cool. Maybe we'll have to get it. Let us know what you like/dislike
Looks like fun! Did you get those workbooks from Sonlight? I really like the looks of them.
Your family is just adorable! So proud of you for taking that on.
The Kumon workbooks are not from Sonlight.
My friend recommended them through this source: www.timberdoodle.com -they have some great stuff.
Sound like things are going well! I'm glad you are liking SL. Have you tried their boards yet?
Good to hear what you are doing. I agree about homeschooling being very fun, rewarding, and sometimes hard. We're having a good year, and I love the idea that I get to teach Anabelle to read!
Hi Jenica-I've been a Sonlight user for almost 6 years, and we just love it. :) We met at THRBC family camp this year, and we go to Rachels church.
