New Math

Here we go.....

Into our second week of our new math, so far so good. My plan is to in another week add another subject ....and so on. My hope is that when we have to go back full time it won't be so overwhelming. At least that is the plan for now.

Test Results are in!!!!!

The boys just got their results back from the Stanford test. I am so sad that I was unable to get Chloe in. I would have loved to see how she would have done. The boys did great! Joshua is above grade level in everything. Landon is as well, except he is on grade level for listening/comprehension. I think this is due to the fact that Landon had a lady give the verbal part in a very hard to understand accent. This does not have me worried. I am very happy with the results and so glad we took the test. We will continue to test yearly as I feel it is needed. I know many people that home school do not test and that is their choice. I need to, not only for the kids sake but for mine. Next year I will be on the ball to get them signed up so Chloe will have a spot.

A few more.....

I really have enjoyed getting these ready for Chloe...I sure hope she likes them!

File Folder Games

I really like putting these together. I hope that Chloe will enjoy them and that they will help her in review. Here are a few I have made. The Lions Den one I made for a friend. I have tons more I would love to make...

Gearing up...

Gathering all the new material for the fall. Year number two is just ahead. So hard to believe we made it through the 1st year. Makes me think we can do it again.

This next year we are not doing full Abeka, we just can not fork out that money like we did last year. So we are changing it up a little.

So Far...

Also different things to fill her workboxes.

I am thinking of doing workboxes this next year with Joshua, to change it up for him, we shall see.

WE MADE IT!!!!

We have finished up our 1st year of home schooling...can I get an AMEN!

The kids are thrilled, I am thrilled. We had a lot of bumps in the road but also many smooth ones. When asked if I will do it next fall, I say yes. I still can not believe I have done it, I can't believe the kids have done it.

The boys just took the Stanford test and we await for the results, it will be neat to compare them to last years test scores. I need to test the kids yearly...I was too late to get Chloe in, but I have no doubt as to where Chloe is....with the boys having formal school for so many years, I really needed them tested...not just for them but for me. I will have them all tested each year...if they like it or not.

I thank all my home school friends that have helped me along the way...and the support of my family.....Love you all!

Bring on year #2!

I still can not believe that Landon will be in 9th grade...Joshua will be in 5th and Chloe a big 2nd grader...YIKES!!!

1st Lapbook

We did our 1st one over some of the American Symbols we have studied....Will for sure do some over the summer and plan more for next year. Chloe really enjoyed doing it!
