Today, Young Family Academy was in session for the first time for the 2015-2016 school year. Our line-up of students and grades are:
Fone - 9th grade
Mario - 7th grade
Melody - 6th grade
Ariel - 4th grade
Max - 2nd grade
Pookey - 1st grade
And, we do have two sweet tag-a-longs, Rose and Yoda!! Going to be participating in an activity bag swap soon to have activities on hand for miss Rose who needs something to keep her busy, rather than her interrupting us every 30 seconds. I am thinking about making these and these for the swap and getting two sets back.
With 8 young ones and all activities they are in, and knowing how important it is to maintain a huge sense of peace, we use quite a bit of computer curriculum. We mix-and-max what works for our family. Some of our choices include: Saxon Math, My Catholic Faith Delivered, AOP Switched on Schoolhouse, Abeka, Seton, Catholic Heritage Curriculum, and Homeschool Connections. So, a little bit of everything, I guess. We pick and choose the "best of the best"!! :)
School days, school days
Dear old Golden Rule days
Reading and 'riting and 'rithmetic
++Thank you, God, for calling us to homeschool. Please bless our year as we learn and grow in faith, academics, and bonding with each other!!++
