Our Homeschool Room

We are so excited about our new homeschool room, which is a large sunroom. It is a multi-purpose room as we'll also have our dining table in there and a place to watch movies. Also, it has places for coats, shoes, and our dog's bed. Once it is all put together, I'll share pictures.

Caleb and I have been organizing all of the children's books into groups to make them easier to find. He really enjoys organizing. I was surprised when he mentioned putting the "classics" together. LOL How does a 5 year old know what the word classic means?

I am trying to figure out how to hang our maps back up. This room has so many windows that there isn't wall space for maps. I may need to save up for one of those classroom pull down map fixtures. I'm sure they are not cheap.

recent favorite activites

The older two boys spend a good part of their day building with Legos. This past week, Daddy has been home and had them outside learning archery and taking hayless hayrides in the lawn mower trailer. I can't believe how big they look with their bows! They are quite good at this. Caleb loads his bow and fills up his target very quickly. I was able to watch Luke get his first bullseye.

New Baby, New House, and a New School Year

We have a new baby at our house! Micah was born just 5 days ago. He is a wonderful little baby and I am looking forward to the coming months of taking care of Micah and homeschooling our other three boys. Our oldest, Caleb, is turning 6 soon and so I am starting a real homeschool schedule for September. He is so ready to start learning to read each day and I know he will catch on quickly with this consistancy. We will also begin writing and math daily. Lots of fun things will be thrown in having to do with other subjects like science, history, geography, etc. We have just moved from the city to a country home. That really adds to the excitement of starting this new chapter in our lives.
