Ok our first few days are going well. I am LOVING the Book of Mormon program and the kids seem to like it too. What a relief. We are starting each day with a primary song and so far nobody is hating it. We do Book of Mormon first, then Seth and Addie color while I work with Sasha. Who, by the way, asked when we would be done with school 15 minutes after we got started on Monday. Golly. That girl is a crack-up.
- Still loving Saxon for math but have had to jump to lesson 10 since they are moving very slow. Lots of review that she doesn't need.
- Rod and Staff for english is ok. Kinda hard for 3rd grade so I am kinda picking and choosing what she does on the worksheets.
- Love the All about Spelling program for Seth. He already knows most of the sounds the letters make and that surprises me. He even held a pencil for me and wrote some "A's". He is not a big fan of coloring or drawing or anything of that nature. Yes, I have my work cut out for me.
- I think I will do art, history and science on Thursday's and Friday's.
- Sasha is writing in her journal each day. So far each entry has been about our dog. Oh, brother. Oh, well. I told her to write about anything she wants. She loves that dog, I tell ya.
So far, so good. But it is only the 2nd day of school. :) Oh, and can I just say I am ready for fall now. I love summer but I am ready for some cooler weather now, thank you very much. :)

You amaze me! You're children are very lucky to have you! Great tools you are teaching them....and I'm totally with you on the fall weather!!! Bring it on!
Sounds like school is going great so far. I have been ready for fall since July. I love it when the weather cools off and the leaves start to change colors.
You're amazing lady! Your kids will be grateful to you forever for what you are doing for them!
