First Grade!

Here's Weston on his first day of homeschool. He is now a big first-grader! This year I've chosen to use My Father's World Homeschool Curriculum. So far we are both enjoying it! We've been reviewing the letters and sounds, working on phonics blends, sound recognition, math, memory verses, an art lesson, a science lesson and much more. In addition to the core curriculum I'm using a couple of other recommended reading lists for chapter books to read to both Weston and Grace. They've loved Henry Huggins and Homer Price!
Grace and Elsie don't want to be left out. Grace has been practicing her letters and Elsie has been drawing and coloring lots of circles in an old workbook :). Although it's rewarding and fun, I'm realizing what a challenge homeschooling is going to be. I can only hope to be successful if I am daily relying on God to give me patience and wisdom. On my own I'm just cranky and tired. Good thing God does not leave me on my own!
