The summer just seemed to fly by this year. Really to be honest, everyday is going by just way to fast for me. We started back to school about 3 weeks ago, adding a little in each day so not to overwhelm anyone. It's hard to believe that we are now in our 8th year of home schooling our 5 children. My oldest will graduate this year and my youngest starts 4th grade. The three in the middle are starting 11th, 9th and 7th grade. My hands are full with a variety of ages/grades, curriculum and learning styles.
We are doing a few things differently this year and also keeping some things the same. We will be branching off into more history than usual. History is not a subject that I really cared for as a child so it has been one of the more difficult ones for me to teach. I have my order placed and should be receiving our new history read-alouds in the next week. Until then we have plenty to keep us busy.
