Wow....we were are still tired from all the fun that we had yesterday!
Today we started school full time. The kids really enjoyed history today. Science was just an introduction, but we will be in full force soon. This year is so much different then last year. We used Switched on Schoolhouse last year which was 100% computer based program. This year we are using My Father's World for Bible, History and Science; Excellence in Writing for English; Excellence in Spelling for....you guessed it spelling; Switched on Schoolhouse for Math (for Daniel and Nattalie since we had it from last year for their grade) and Teaching Textbooks for Johnathan; and of course they are all working hard on music!
Today it was such a blessing to start with Bible reading as our first lesson for the day...opening the Word of God to begin our studies was so refreshing.
Having to do the teaching myself is taking more of my time, but I know that it will be time well spent!
We did get Johnathan's computer back tonight so he did his Math lesson this evening.....wow, just love the flexibility of homeschool!! By the way, one thing that I really like about Teaching Textbooks already is that you just insert the cd-rom and the lessons pop right up. There is no donwloading to program to your computer like with Switched on Schoolhouse. I really like this because if a computer goes down they are still able to do lessons on any computer. So, if all goes well in 2 more years we will be using Teaching Textbooks totally.
Great first day!!
