Homeschool Curriculum!

Our homeschool curriculum is here! It came in Wednesday. We will begin on Monday! Asa, Rose, and Grace are so excited! So am I!!

Homeschool Material

Today I went to BR to order the Abeka Homeschool curriculum for Nursery and Four year old Kindergarten. It will come in two weeks. I am excited! Asa is excited too! When I got back from ordering Asa immediately asked me where his homeschool was. He is so sweet! Then when Anthony got home from summer school, Asa told him his homeschool was coming.

What a Weekend!

This was just a very enjoyable weekend..... playing at the park, ice cream, bbq grilling, boys playing baseball, toddlers riding the John Deere Gator, My Man cleaning weeds, limbs, and branches, rocking on the front porch, enjoying the Grandparents enjoying the children!

There is so much going on in our home. Our oldest daughter is getting married and is about to move to Alexandria. School has ended which means more laughter and more discipline at home; but, however, our 11 year old will be starting summer school next week. I am planning my summer activities now to combat any boredom or idleness that may try to enter into this home! I also have been praying about homeschooling our younger children and am now sure that this is what I want to do. I have been researching the different homeschool curriculums and have narrowed it down to Abeka and Advanced Training Institute International. I taught Kindergarten for three years and used the Abeka curriculum so I am very familiar with it and just love the phonics and cursive writing programs. I do not like the Abeka Math though. I also am very interested in ATI but they do not really start their teaching until the child is 7 years old. Until then, they recommend CCC (Christ-Centered Curriculum). And actually a friend gave me this curriculum several years ago. I need to look for it in the attic. But after reviewing it, I still believe I will teach the Abeka curriculum until they are seven and then switch to ATI. I am very excited about this! I am so excited, that I am going to start this summer instead of waiting until August. I will, of course, keep all posted in this endeavor!
