Well, we have been homeschooling for almost 3 months now. And boy has it been a learning experience (on many levels)!
The kids both had to do a lot of review in math to catch up. Two weeks ago, Stacy started 4th grade math, and is working hard everyday. Kevin is working on 4th grade math too, and is working hard in hopes of getting up to 6th grade where he needs to be.
Both kids attend a homeschool program in Kennewick three days a week. On Monday they go from 8:30-2:30. Stacy has Piano, American Girls History, Recorder, Art, and P.E. Kevin has Piano, History, Newspaper/Yearbook, Art, and P.E. On Tuesday and Thursday they have shorter days, with only Washington State History/Writing and Science. The only class they have together is P.E. They also have lunch and recess at school two days a week. They have both made many new friends and love going everyday. It used to be that their favorite part of each schoolday was lunch or recess. Now they can't decide whether it is history... science... American girls... art... So many great classes to choose from.
Some people would not agree that we are a homeschooling family because they kids are enrolled in Kennewick School District and they attend part time there. I only teach them math and language arts (grammar, penmanship, spelling, reading). We consider ourselves homeschoolers with a little outside help. Without the MCP program (where they attend) I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be having much fun around here!
So that's what we're up to.
