For those of you interested, here is a list of the curriculum that we will be using this year:


Tapestry of Grace History/Literature- Year Two, Lower Grammar 


Shurley English- level 1 and 3


Spell to Write and Read


Saxon Math-level 2 and level 54 (with DIVE cd)


Nature study- this website will be so helpful.


Art- Drawing with Children


Bible study/character development- Young Peacemakers


Besides that, the girls are again to going to take some extracurricular classes one day/wk like: cooking, spanish, science, karate, and music.


In general, the week went well.  At first, there was a bit of laziness. It took a couple of days to get back into the discipline of our morning routines, sitting still, listening carefully, and working with diligence (I include myself in that).  By the end of the week there fewer off-task moments and we were happily settled in for another year of home-learning.


Hope your families are thriving in your new fall schedules!
