While we didn't get up early (up too late taking a bath and getting ready for today) we did prepare for breakfast this morning. I got up at 7:00, and I messed around with blogs and with my daily journal. I kept telling myself, "I'll get the kids up at 7:30. Okay, I'll get them up at 8:00. I definitely want them up by 9:00." Well, it was 10:00 before they were all up and eating breakfast! We did Saxon math during breakfast. I can't wait to get the math curriculum for Bard. While I think this Saxon time is building her confidence (something much needed in the area of math) I don't think it's nearly challenging enough. We'll continue using it because it reinforces the basics, but it will be much nicer for her to do the Switched On Schoolhouse math, when it arrives. I got an e-mail yesterday saying that it was on the way, so we should have it soon. I'm so excited about how it will give her the ability to do a lot of her lessons independently.
The kids are doing their independent work right now. Bard is doing her spelling book, Edison his italic handwriting, and Monet is drawing faces on rocks--not an assignment. He seems to be having a problem staying with his work. Sigh.
Edison had a great idea for art. Check out Edison's Blog. I'm not sure if he has anything on it yet, but he should soon enough.
