HELPFUL WEBSITES
I have been scouring the internet for good sites that will guide and supplement our curriculum. Here are some that I have found that I really, really like (I am also going to use this list to easily bookmark for myself ;)

TGIF!
It's been a full week of learning here! We have made it through 13 lessons in math, a full week of learning about the 7 regions in Texas, a book report, science museum, nature center, walking trails, watching a gecko molt, and lots of reading and writing...
TGIF! (although we still have a mock travel brochure to get done this weekend)

Today is their last day of school!
THE BEGINNING OF OUR HOME ED ADVENTURE
Today is the boys' last day of school. Tomorrow we will begin our adventures in home education. I am so excited, nervous, hopeful. The boys are excited too, though they will miss things like riding on the bumpy bus (where C lost his tooth when they went over a big hill and he smacked his face down on the seat ahead of him), running like mad men with their friends at recess, and the girls.
We are going to be using a unit study approach, studying one topic for an extensive period of time. We will be covering units in; Thanksgiving, Texas, Winter, Medieval Times, Greek Mythology, Aviation, Soccer, and Crops. For math we will using Math-U-See, which I believe will be effective in really giving the boys a clear understanding of the concepts that they need to know. I have so much that I want them to learn and experience and I can't wait to start!
