Well done Anna!!!!! I will check in from time to time. What a great way to keep records. It is also like a journal for you and the boys to read in the future. Are you following a particular curriculum or creating your own? WOW!! WOW!!! esp. about the discussion re. jealousy. Something tells me you and Adam will someday be leaders among homeschoolers. All for now. love you, Gayline
Awww, thanks! That's very encouraging!
I'm using the Five in a Row curriculum, but it's very relaxed so you can add a lot to it if you feel the need. Shelly recommended that I do something else for math so that's why I have the workbook, flashcards, money stuff, etc.
Also doing reading and writing on our own.
