Wooo it is complete! I have some observations. One is I am going to learn how to do this by trial and error. This concept doesn't bode well with a lot of books I've been reading and advice I've been given who claim I need to do this and that. I've never been a traditionalist when it came to learning therefore my teaching methods will probably scare some people. I'll get some of those methods later. What curriculum am I using? Well a little bit of everything. A Beka, Bob Jones, Horizons, Reading Eggs, my own a little bit of of this and that.
The kids came back from their grandparents after a week( yes my Mom took all my kids to give me a break. I will not divulge when my last break was) wanting to start school the next day. The excitement came because while they were away Eric and I made them a school room complete with table.
So we dug in and completed our first week. They have lost all their enthusiasm now but we are onto week two and I have no doubt this is where God wants us.
