I officially have a second grader, a ninth grader, and an eleventh grader. Yes, I have two students in high school! And let me tell ya, I was a bit overwhelmed! But the first day went off without too many glitches. Of course... There are always a few.
I never opened our tabernacle model. It was shipped in a convenient tube. I bought it before we moved, and it is resistant, after months of being rolled, to flatten. I have it sitting under a crate of books and other heavy books, hoping tomorrow it is easier to cut out and put together.
My ninth grader discovered that our Rosetta Stone headphones we were using last year didn't want to pick up her voice. So... We broke out the set.
I discovered, right before Storytime, that the biography I chose for my youngest to read to her is supposed to last 20 days... And it's way to short for that. In fact, a short chapter a day only takes up ten days. If I can't find a suitable add-on for the last ten days here at home, it'll be library time.
On the plus side, we switched to Teaching Textbooks for Algebra 1 and 2. Since neither of my older girls melted down in math, then I call that success. Of course, there are many lessons to go!
It felt awesome to sit down once again with my girls for Bible time together with a structured plan. It often gets neglected in thd summer due to... Laziness. I could give excuses, such as conflicting schedules, but even I know it is mostly just laziness and poor priorities with the lack of structure. School makes us all more accountable.
I'm praying for an amazing school year!
