And the 2013/14 School Year Officially Begins!

A genius idea from my friends Erin and Mary... use stickers to put the correct answers!  This helps with manual dexterity, it helps the pages to go so much faster as he knows the answers but it still very slow with correct form with the numbers.  We practice numbers with our handwriting but I want math to be math and not writing practice! 

Nehemiah's First (Official) Day of Kindy

Nehemiah did some Kindy work last year but this is his first official year of Kindy... and, actually, he doesn't have to 'officially' attend K until next year because of his October birthday.  Anyway... this child is ready for school and has been asking all week when school is starting.  We haven't started yet but he did school today and I snapped some pics to share :)

Drawing 'frees' is hard work!

"YES!!!"  He did it!

Concentration...

Oops... glue on the fingers!

I didn't think to take pics until he had finished Math already.  ;)  And we do Science and Social Studies as a group class so he didn't do those today either. 

He is growing up so fast... the time flies by, that's for sure!

To answer your question...

Q: "How do you homeschool the little ones?"

A: Like this... :-)

Elijah doing a reading lesson.

Isaac working in his preK book.
Joey "taking care" of Nehemiah.

I have the BEST life!!!

School Day at Lewis Academy :-)

Notice the teacher's chair is vacant? Well, of course... she's the photographer! -giggle-
Hard at work!
MaryVance doing a pretest in her new math book. She tested out of the first 17 pages -- Way to go Mare!!
Caleb was Isaac's teacher today. He's learning to write "B".
Sam & Molly... Such concentration! Aren't you proud?
Look at that! Reading all by himself! Yeah Elijah!
Luke is pondering...

A pretty typical school day!
