Back to school

We started school yesterday and it was alot of fun. We are going to study Cultures and Climates around the world this year. The boys started yesterday off with a Pretest labeling all the countries they know. This lead to groans and even a few tears because they really didn't know any. I took the pretest too and I didn't do very well either! But hopefully at the end of the year we will all score better on the final test. The boys also had to fill out a Passport application so we can "travel" to different countries!

The boys have been doing thier math program for about 3 weeks and they each love it!! I have to motivate Levi with a timer though. He sat one day for just short of 2 hours writing 1-20. So, the next day I told him he needed to finish his work in 20 minutes. He had SO much fun beating the timer! He finished 3 worksheets in 30 minutes!! Hayden and Gage are on the same level book so they totally motivate each other. If one gets a little ahead the other is totally motivated to catch up.

The boys also started Piano Lessons yesterday. They all had so much fun. I pray that this will give them each a passion for music.

Yesterday we started off great!! We were all up and ready to start school at 8:30, today I have to admit that we are slacking a bit! But thankfully the first week has an easy load.

Ok, I gotta get moving!!
