it's all fun and games: school

nate finished his alpha book from math us see yesterday. i deliberately took a month to go slow, view and make sure he grasp the concepts 100% before we move on. its not about getting to the next level, for me its learning and knowing....anyways! we are going to start beta next week! yikes!!!

we finished up all his grammar and reading curric books/workbooks a few wks ago. i thought he was ready for science so we started his astronomy text book/work book with apologia on monday. we spent the week together working through chapter 1, figuring how it works and getting familiar with the new curric

to be honest, i was more insecure, and looking at this subject with dread, not knowing how it will work out. nate has it rough, ha. he is my practice child. ive never home schooled anyone before, i have no clue what im doing! but with all things, face your fear and find your strength! right?!?

we had an AWESOME science week. i really like this curric. i LOVE that we can use the text books for all the kids, 2 times each! each book has a jr and a reg notebook so the lessons are taught 2 times.

we are studying astronomy. and to be honest, ive learned a lot. haha. the great thing is if i stick to this curric for elementary, i will know the book inside and out/how it works so it will be much easier when i go thought it again with the girls

anyways. the above picture is nate doing his copy work, my favorite thing is to watch him work. hes so much like his dad!
