Homeschooling

Homeschooling is going really well with Kennedy. She's making great progress with learning to read. We're on lesson 16 of Teach Your Child To Read in 100 Lessons and she's already sounding out sentences! We're working on Saxon Math 1 this year and that's going well too. Now that we have a good routine going with those two, next week we will be starting where we left off last year in the Veritas Press Phonics Museum K/1 program. After that we're going to add some geography with Legends and Leagues. We're part of a homeschool co-op on Thursdays and this year we're going to be doing art, science and theatre with through that.

The hardest part of homeschooling right now is trying to find something to keep Parker occupied. He is constantly trying to get Kennedy to play with him or me to give him attention. I need to work on keeping him busy. He'll colour for a few minutes but then he's done with that and wants our attention. I need to find some toys or something that he can only use during school time.
