Life looks unbelieveably different since I have written anything on this blog.
The last time I wrote we had a relatively new babe and we were just starting our homeschool journey.
Today that new baby is soon turning two and there is yet another Wobbema babe.
We feel like we've been doing this homeschool thing for awhile, and yet are still learning more and more about how we want to do school and how to approach things and what our style is.
The curriculum list in the post below of what our Kindergarten year was supposed to look like didn't convey much of anything other than a year of trial and error.
We pushed through the year of school by starting and finishing some things and learning to let go of other things. We called Emberly's first year of school "Kindergarten" even though she had just turned 5 and wasn't eligible by Fargo Public Schools to start Kinder, but then at the end of the year decided that our slow and steady start was exactly that - a great start, and we continued on to a second round of Kindergarten this year to bless her with an extra year of childhood.
This year we have fallen into a nice rhythm of school. We've turned my beloved sewing room into a homeschool room (let's be honest - with four bambinos I wasn't sewing much anyway), and the girls are both excited and generally willing when it comes to getting their school work done. Emberly is using lots of first grade curriculum, though I've found that in homeschool world, grade levels aren't really all that important. We just continue the slow and steady progression forward, which I love.
I am excited to start jotting my thoughts out on this blog again - even if it is just to catalog and file our homeschool journey so I don't need to recreate when the boys are starting school.
And there is so much more. But I'll start there.
