friends to see us through

homeschooling is well underway this year for me and mikey and sometimes lauren.  and so far, so good.  i’ve really been loving the curriculum we’re using this year- it’s totally open and go for me (no pre-planning needed!) and mikey has really been enjoying the stories, the format, and the pace.  it’s been awesome to see how much he’s been learning and seeing his skills developing.  it’s also got a good mix of interaction with me and independent work for him.  because sometimes, this mama just needs a break!  also because it makes it really easy to do a little schooling time with lauren on the days she’s home with us.

so yes, overall i’d say we’re off to a great start this year.

but of course, the highest highlight for all of us is when we have our co-op fridays.

it’s just good good times when we’re all cozied up together to learn something new.

it really is when this boy comes alive.

we’re tackling science experiments this year.

auntie heesun started our year off nice and easy-to-clean: learning about the properties of water!

these are my people.  and i love them.

but pray for me please.  it’s my turn to teach the next one!  *gulp.*
