We are keeping up with the schedule yes its true. Carly is doing about 4 hours of book work to date and Taylor is about an hour. Proud to say that Taylor is currently doing great in 1st grade grammar and Math and will officially be promoted to 1st grade as of December 1st. Yes you can do that when you home school : ) My Carly who "HAAAAAAAAAATES Science" and is in her first official year of bookwork Science is doing grade 4. When I went to order their curriculum I noticed that we covered every topic like twice, I mean we love planting but the girl had been growing and planting for like 7 of her 8 years and neither she nor I have green thumbs. We are pretty good at growing herbs though and will give that another shot....Back to curriculum..The only problem Carly is behind in is math, big shock since that is MY least fav subject, she tells me it is her favorite but there is an awful lot if complaining and stomach aches once she sees the Math book come out. We balance out the day with baking, painting, cleaning and swimming as the weather is still about 95 degrees during the day. Today we completed 2 hours of grammar and they asked to make a cake. Armed with a white Betty Crocker cake mix box, a can of white frosting and a 4 pack of food coloring we were in business.....I must add that they really did a great job and also learned about measurements in the process. Oh and Taylor cracked his first egg successfully...ahh the little things. Here are some scenes from the kitchen this afternoon...
What do get when you mix pumpkin pie filling, coconut mile, sweet and sour sauce, pancake mix, oatmeal and many many many other ingredients........... (word of the day) Concoctions... luckily daddy was not here and I needed to clean out the pantry and fridge anyway...this literally went on for over 2 hours and the kitchen and mommy are doing fine...
