I have obviously been AWFUL at keeping up records with school. I am bad about that every year! This year so far we have been working on Story of the World for history... it's really really exciting. I love how they make it a fun interesting story... we have really enjoyed it. Learning about ancient Egypt etc right now.
For science we are doing Apologia anatomy and physiology and supplementing it with hecoa.com's Human Body System's.. its an online class, very very interesting!
For language arts the kids are doing hecoa.com's grammar extended and parts of speech online courses. Very in depth and we like it alot.
Math is good ole Saxon Math... it's seriously the best.
Then of course we have gospel and character traits/virtue.... we are working on going thru President Hinckleys Be's. Then we will go on to memorizing the articles of faith. We are working on compassion and reading beautiful poems etc on it for character traits/virtue. Oh and we are listening to one conference talk a day.
Plus there is cursive writing which Dylan hates but the girls are loving ( dylan is actually super great at it.. he just hates it lol!) and spelling words :)
hoping to start daily piano lessons once i get the playroom all cleaned and organized and can get to my piano :)
Each kiddo is reading a book for literature too... Dylan is reading the hobbit, marlee and syd are reading little house on the prairie books :)

A Fresh New School Year
I am so excited! New schoolbooks came in the mail today... we went school supply shopping, the table is all cleaned off, you know what that means! A fresh new school year! Last year I was awful at keeping up the blog ( you can see it here at www.kaylorhomeschool2011.blogspot.com ) but this year, it is my goal to keep up with recording the things we have accomplished, so that I can use this as records and also just a great reminder of all the things we've done!
The kids are getting excited, well the girls are. Dylan is still in love with summer and doesn't want it to end. The girls are like me, they are ready for a schedule and schoolwork! I have been planning and getting things ready. I always look forward to starting school each year, but I also have that little nagging feeling that I won't have any freedom for the next 9 months... school takes everything I have. No more lazy summer days reading and watching the kids play outside. No more sleeping in ( not that that happens alot, but still, i might have the option in the summer lol). No more pinterest until the evening time... will I live??? You bet I will! See I signed up for this job. I know this is right for my family. I am committed to making sure that my children are raised to the best of my ability. So here we go! School starts monday! I will be back on here then to record what we have accomplished! :)
