We have continued our schooling over the Summer. I do 3 weeks on 1 week off so we do get a break. With Moving and all the new things we have had to transition too we lost some school days. I guess I feel it's school everyday here though we always are learning even if it isn't on paper.
I had to take a pic of the boys with their new books and Keynan coloring one of his birthday posters. I have tried a lot of different workbooks for schooling. I really like these work books http://www.schoolzone.com .I also love http://www.zaner-bloser.com/ work books. I use to get them at Costco and I was trying to get the same low cost if I could find them. I scored at Target one day and got both the books for less then $10. This was before we gave them a haircut my little scruffalumps( post coming soon).
The boys are doing incredible at Math and excellent with the phonics. They both are learning to phonetically read and we are taking it slow. I'm putting more into the phonics and giving the math a break for a bit.. They are also starting to learn music which is coming pretty natural.
I am starting to move into teaching cursive this fall. Their writing is continuing to get even better. It's amazing watching them grow at their own pace. I've learned to back off and it has helped. Sometimes we just don't get done all we have planned. You really can't plan 5 hours of school for a 7 year old. Or at least my 7 year olds.. So we have fun and we have fun learning. I should call the learning imprinting because we spend as much time as we need on one thing so it will stick and stay stuck!!!
AHHH The beauty of Homeschooling :)

Could you teach me cursive? It never really stuck. I have a hybrid of cursive and print. I guess it is never too late to learn, right? I love love love that they are learning music!!! That's the music teacher in me! I plan to start Julia on piano next year. For now I just let her tinker away.
