New school year - new goal

So today was the first day of school! *ahem* Notice how I'm totally ignoring the fact that I haven't been here since April *ahem* I can't believe I have THREE school kids now!!!! I haven't taken a coolio picture of all our school materials yet - but I will after the rest of the haul arrives.

We decided to switch gears a bit and not do My Father's World with the older two girls this year. Instead, we are using a mix of things - Mystery of History, Apologia Anatomy, Bob Jones reading, Time4Learning, Lutheran Study Bible and the small cathechism to name a few. Sadey is doing MFW's Kindergarten program though. We're only on day 1, but so far so good.

Day 1 wrap up: Bible, Art, Music and PE for the older two and discussed day 1 of Creation with Sadey. She also learned about the letters Aa and Bb and went on a scavenger hunt for the number 1. She loved that. She started her Creation Book today. I could not convince her that God made light without making the sun even though she knows that He made the sun on day 4....so she added it to her picture. I can see how that would torment her little noodle.

What we're using this year

This is Adventure's in My Father's World and will be used by Sydney. The other two girls will sit in and "help" with some of the lessons. Sydney will also be taking US Geography and art in co op and will be involved with girl scouts and A Life of Faith club.

Delaney will be using My Father's World's 1st grade program. She will also be taking Spanish and ballet at co op and will be in Brownies and A Life of Faith Club.

Sadey will have her own preschool program and will also be attending my 3yo co op class with 12-15 other preschoolers on Friday mornings.
