Oh, The Fun We Will Have

Thus far, we are mostly enjoying the homeschool experience! :) For me, the mom, I have to get up pretty early to feel I have a good start on the day, and I spend a lot of it in prayer to help arrange my priorities. There are lots of plans to come up with and also to think about new activities for fun.

Doesn't Aaron look really interested?

The boys, at first, thought that school at home would be easy (or easier than school). But, they are not finding that right now. Language arts is review right now, but their math curriculum is quite fast-paced and challenging. The history and literature curriculum is really neat. Lots of geography, interesting stories, and interesting people in history. Music is something that is important; Ethan is taking guitar and violin lessons and Aaron is taking piano. Through the history program, the kids do art too. Science also is favorite (because they do it with Dad!). Right now they are also observing harvester ants and journaling their observations.

Ethan working hard at his journaling.

Here are some pictures of the harvester ants.
