Throughout the summer we have been doing a little school here and there. Two days ago the weather wasn't overwhelmingly hot so Lance and I went outside to do a little school. Here he is working in his multiplication journal by Leslie Monroe.  He alsow worked in his Dyslexia Games book.  I read my book (that I lost and haven't been able to finish.=),  Lance is also working on some Language Arts by the Good and the Beautiful . We are using this three times a week for 30-40 minutes a day. Once school starts back up we will use it four times a week. I had him start at a lower level and we are going to go through them a bit faster. Below he's brushing up on his cursive practice using The Good & the Beautiful Handwriting program. Once he completes the course I'm going to have him continue practicing with Trace-a-Story: Bible . You can take a peek inside the multiplication book by Leslie in this video below.

I've been silent lately. Lots happening. We had my sis-in-law and her family visit. They left last week. My boys, Brent and Caleb will be home August 9th. I'm super excited. Annette is home too!!! I haven't got pics of everything we will use this year. In fact, I've been so scatter brained that I haven't got all my ducks in a row. Hopefully, by Sept. I'll have it all together. I also got a new desktop and haven't switched all my photos which makes it hard to blog with no pics. For history, I'm excited and I haven't been excited about history for a few years now. We will use The Good and the Beautiful (G&B).  The reason I'm excited is because I'm going to use this with four of my kiddos: Caleb 11th, Brent 10th, Ethan 9th, and Lance 7th. We haven't done history together in years. At first, I was going to have everyone use their own history and I'm kinda sad that Lance won't be studying the 50 States. BUT I think this will work...
