Weeks 1 and 2

Second grade is going great. We are having so much fun. I think I have FINALLY realized that everything doesn't have to perfect as long as we are learning and enjoying each other it is going to be OKAY!!






Katlyn writing sentences for her spelling words.



handwriting copywork as well as memory verses



Katlyn hard at work.

Namman and Ella Grace are also doing "school" Our them for this week was circles.






We also had a couple of field trips. One was to our vet with the new puppy. Katlyn went with a chart for vaccines and a list of questions.....I was a proud homeschooling mama. so here is a pic of Daddy and the new puppy.



Our other trip was to the Childrens Garden.....so much fun.





Thanks for checking in. See you next week :)

Second Grade Curriculum

After months of debate, I FINALLY decided on our curriculum.
So here is our curriculum list:

Bible- Veitas Press Genesis - Joshua
My first Devotional Bible
English - First Language Lessons
Spelling workout
A reason for handwriting
Math - Horizon
History - Story of the world
Latin - Prima Latina
Science - Exploring Creation with Astronomy
Music - guitar lessons ( burt is a guitar instructor)
possibly piano lessons

I will be posting our schedule after our first few weeks to allow time for the kinks to get worked out.

Proverbs 22:6

Train a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not turn from it.


This is our school motto. Burt and i strongly believe that our children should be raised to know who God is and know that He is our strength. What a blessing to be able to teach my children in the ways of the Lord.

New Blog

So, I am officially a blogger. YEAH! The reason I am doing this blog is to create a wonderful memory for my children. Since we homeschool I am hoping for some veteran advice from those who visit. I will also be using this as my midnight escape to come and let go of my day. Thanks for reading!!
