New programs to add...

So while I am here in Utah visiting, I went to a Homeschooling convention. The website is: uhea.org It was very nice. I got two new programs to try out. I am going to add a Book of Mormon reading program/vocabulary program in. It was written by an amazing woman that has homeschooled her children for years and now one of her daughters is helping her sell the program. It will be so much fun to learn more about the stories in the Book of Mormon. I am really excited about this one.

I also found a program called ELF. It is a spelling/writing program. It looks like fun for the kids. I just hope the games are as fun as they look. It really sounds good. The website is: e-l-fun.com Check it out:-) I really think the boys are going to like it.

I also found out that Ricky will be on level 7 with the Teaching Textbooks program. I have to say, my boys are so excited to get all of this started. I am too.

So here is the list of the updated programs we are going to use:

Spelling/writing: ELF

Math: Teaching Textbooks 3 & 7

Reading: We will use the Book of Mormon program around Christmas time, until then we are just going to find fun chapter books for them to read and discuss.

Government: the ABC's still.

I think that is it for now. I am brain dead. I just can't wait to finish getting organized. I look forward to spending time with my boys. I still know that there will be some days I wonder what the crap I was thinking, but then most days will be fun and worth every minute of it.

When I get home, I am going to update my links with some more fun stuff I found:-)
