Ok, I lost track of monitoring our days.
We have been working at the three R's this month.
Focusing on Math and Writing the most.
When we started Elsie Dinsmore, I wasn't sure how it would go. She is a 19th century girl and I love her values, but the chapters are 20+ pages and not exactly easy Reading.
We have made it through three chapters so far.
what I love best about them is that Elsie is Homeschooled and expected to be perfect in her school work. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect her to do her absolute best....and I had not been getting that til now.
Elsie books from this particular series also have another benefit. Each chapter has a bible verse or two or three summarizing the points from the chapters lesson. Those are our writing assignments, Copy work.
Math is still coming from Horizons though, and she doesn't like it but is finally starting to get it. Elsie has much more work than Lauren so I remind her we could always add in the other subjects....I don't feel we are ready for those additions at this point, but we will be by the time she is actually Elsie's age (eight years old)

We are going to track our days here, Every 180 days we will begin a new school year.
Why We homeschool
As parent's its our job to raise and teach our children. We do not believe its our job to send them off to someone else to do our job.
By Homeschooling, we are enabled to allow our daughter to reach her goals and potential at her speed and we also are better able to protect her from some of the influences that a young child should never be exposed to.
This year we plan on starting her in some activities co-ops as well as possibly enrolling in the American Heritage Girls or something similar if we can find non conflicting meeting dates with Mom's school.
