We officially started our school year last Monday. I have to say 'officially' because my four kiddos actually started doing their work the week before. As their books were arriving via mail and UPS, they couldn't wait to get started.
Rosie, my lovely 3rd grader. On Thursday of the week before we started school she had completed two weeks of spelling (she has daily assignments) and a week worth of math. I learned last year that she works better when I give her assignments a month at a time. I go over new concepts with her but she is self motivated.
Well, usually.
Lake, my 6th grader. A middle schooler. Oh my, where did the time go? Wasn't he just a baby? One of his first comments on starting school was that his work is much harder. I reminded him that he wasn't in elementary school anymore!
Daisy, my 1st grader. What's that? Do you see what I see? YES! A tooth! Finally, after two years of waiting for it, the front tooth is emerging. It is totally going to change her face. She is enjoying her 'real' school work. She said that last year was too easy.
Tate, my 5th grader. He is still a little sponge. He can remember almost anything. He learns more by listening than visually and since I am the opposite it is amazing to me.
