Back to School!

Since our November will be broken up a bit by traveling back to the USA, we needed to get a jump on school. So even though the kids wished we could put it off a bit longer we dove in anyway.

Taking advantage of the flexibility of homeschooling, we scrapped our 9am start time and went a different direction. That direction eventually flowed through lunch at McDonald's and a 2pm start time. Even with all that everyone was wrapped up before 6pm. Awesome!
Everyone is using curriculum where a entire class was taped and the "students at home" participate right along. Someday our kids will learn you can't pause a real teacher to laugh at something she said. Everything in its season though...
The Middle Schoolers have a separate room with air conditioning. Sometimes they can be a bit sly behind closed doors, though!
So according to our count, only 179 days to go.
