Homeschool

This year we have taken the plunge (or lost our minds) and started homeschooling our boys. No, I really love it so far and the boys are doing great. About a year ago, God laid it on my heart that He wanted us to homeschool. After a year of praying and discussing it, we have finally started- well, at the beginning of August. Before I forget I need to write down what we are using!

Ben: 4th Grade-

Language- 1st Language Lessons, Level 4
Grammar- The Complete Writer; Writing With Ease 2
Spelling- Spelling Workout D (for now, gonna have to change this one); Logic of English
Math- Saxon 4/5

Not to mention they read 20 minutes a day. They are learning so much that I never thought was possible. It's not perfect, but it's where we are supposed to be!
