So now after trying the ELF program, I'm not sure it really is for Ricky. He is so bored with it all. It is all way too easy for him. I think I am going to have to go get a different language program for him. Eventually that is. Right now I will continue to use it for some of the spelling words. He is just so smart and advance. I want to make sure he is challenged, or he will get really bored. I don't want that.
Right now after going to the home school book fair and looking at several other grammar books, I think I like the "Easy Grammar" books. But for now we are not financially fit to buy anything else. Maybe next semester.
Michael is being challenged by the ELF program though. That is a good thing. He seems to like it too. Thank goodness for me. Michael loves to do it too. I am so lucky to have such fun/loving boys that love to be home with their mama!!
I bought the cursive books and the teaching textbooks programs today. That means when they arrive, we start school. Officially!!! YEAH!!! We all can't wait. It has taken a lot to get some things organized and put away. I hope that it works for us. I keep telling myself not to over do it these first few weeks. Here we go!!
How to homeschool a kid who hates to write

For the record, its midnight and I..of course..cant sleep! All I keep thinking is "Am I really doing this??" People swirling around me questioning my sanity doesnt help either:) So glad to know that despite the majority that think I may have completely lost my mind, I have an amazing group of women that will support me in this adventure. We are going to be amazing! (Now get this kid out of you, so that we can get on with it..haha)
