Hitting the books--again!
Oh, wow. Trying to get into the groove of our homeschool this year has been challenging! Our five-year old, Sailor, "formally" started school this year. He is in art and tennis--and will possibly join his big brother in golf. We have had a couple of interruptions (the biggie being the hurricane), but I am hoping that today we will be able to stay on-task and start adapting to our new schedule and routines.
I love that this year is an election year, because Sailor is going to be exposed to so many historical facts and trivia! Even if he does not remember any of it, he will hear the vocabulary, see the pictures, and store it all in his little brain-cache for later!
I am curious to see if he can memorize the Presidents in order--we are going to try, ten-at-a-time, and see if he can do it.
Today, we will also start our new Science curriculum from the Teaching Company--I am probably looking forward to it more than my children, LOL!

I think memorizing the Presidents is a noble task. We have President flash cards, and President coloring books and all sorts of books on the Presidents- election years supply a little extra "fun" for homeschooling.
good luck with school this year!
I did read the Twilight series. I enjoyed it. I have lots of opinions about it too, lol! When you finish them we'll have to chat.
You know....I don't think I can say all my presidents in order. Sad I know.
How'd it go today?
