9/2/15 We started school on Monday with
all 3 kids being homeschooled. I need three of me in order to help everyone
with all their needs, but we will get it figured out. Today is day 3 of school
and it is going well so far. I keep telling myself to “keep it simple”. That is
my motto for the year. The past two years I have tired to cover too much
material and try to many different things using several types of curriculum.
There is so much out there and I just want to do it all. I have realized it is
better to focus on the most important than a little bit of everything. A
typical day starts at 7:30 everyone is dressed, had breakfast, teeth brushed,
beds made and ready to start at 8:30. We start the morning with a little
devotion time. Right now we are spending some time learning about David. We
pray together then start on subjects. So far Luke is a "get it done" kind of
student and is usually yelling either, “I’m done” or “What next?” Jake still
plugs along and is easily distracted. Jayden is going to need me with
Chemistry, but most subjects she can handle. A big change, this year she will
take math with Nancy in Stratford once a week. She will be doing Algebra II and Geometry. That is why she is getting help, she has passed my ability in math. We eased into our week of school and
next week it will get busier. This week is all about the rodeo, so we are
riding horses and getting things ready. We practice Thursday, and perform
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Last night we got more unneeded rainfall.
