All of our home school curriculum showed up on our doorstep last night. It was so fun to dig through the boxes and see all of the new things we will be reading and learning this year. --And I say "we" because I seem to learn just as much as the kids. I crack up laughing (in my head) at how excited Isaac is after he cried with relief when we were finished this Spring.
Oh so excited
dancing and giggling--open the box!!
This is how far we got into the house with the box before we tore into it.
Books and more books...it's why I love this curriculum so much.
These are the books we will read this year while cuddled up on the couch or a bed. This is the part that makes me excited. The part that overwhelms me is that I have to actually teach stuff...not just read. 36 weeks...I can do it. :)
Nana supplies us with lots of fun things from her classroom that she no longer uses. She gave us lots of books on tape a couple of years ago and they've been in storage this past year. Isaac can actually follow along now, so this is where I find him quite often.
Oh, and King Saul showed up at our table last night.

LOVE the books! I'm so glad Nana supplies the kids with some fun things, too! I know they love it. And that wasn't King Saul---it was King Josiah!
Well, he wanted to be King Saul until we told him that King Saul was not very nice. Then he decided that he was Mary.
I'm glad the kids and mom are so excited about the new curriculum. Every new school is fun! Amy, you are such a great teacher!! Isaac looks like a bookworm.
I've gotten about 1/3 of our curriculum in and am waiting on the rest of it. Every day I wait for the UPS guy like a stalker.Ha! I'm really excited for this year to start. It's like I've gotten 9 months of trial and error under my belt and now I get to have a real, planned school year! I'm excited for both of us!
Yeah for school starting! You are right, you can do it!
Jean- Thank you! That means a lot coming from you, a great teacher!!! The kids are so, so excited. Isaac can't wait because we get to do science this year.
Lindsey- I'm a bit nervous, but it'll all be great once I get in the swing of things. Happy Homeschooling!
Dawn- Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes. :)
Books like that would make me giggle and dance, too!! Ya'll are going to have an awesome school year!! :)
Looks like fun, part of me is jealous... Good luck, I know you'll have a great year!
