First day of school



Ella starts first grade this year. She's reading "I Can Read It" books and Dr. Seuss. Doing handwriting and spelling with Sonlight and listening in to everything I read to her brothers.


Isaiah starts third grade. He is reading short chapter books and getting into World History with Story of The World. He's doing Language Arts with Sonlight as well.


Jonah (gasp) starts sixth grade. He's finishing up American history and will start World history this winter. At the moment he is inhaling books on Astronomy thanks to a recent field trip to an observatory.
All are doing Singapore Math, the boys have just started Latin, all are doing piano (though some are less excited about it than others.)
I didn't think I was quite ready to start, but honestly boredom leads to trouble in this house and it was TIME.

Sorry, no house pictures. But, the siding is on and the electric is half roughed in...we have ten outlets in the dining room. Dad will be proud. :)

They look so happy in their school desk. Our boys are the exact same age...I forget that sometimes. It's so much fun to see them learn and grow.

I finally took a moment to comment on the pictures! You look great, guys! Can't wait to see you in a couple (or three) weeks! Love,
Grandma
