We have decided to homeschool again this year. We are all pretty excited about it around here. This last week was our first week. It was very laid back because I still don't have all of the materials that I need. But, we have been working on math, spelling, writing, history and art. The picture to the left is a picture of the saxon math manipulative kit that we got from christianbook.com. I have to say that it is really neat. All of the kids love it, including Katie! I love the fact that they think they are playing, but I know that they are really learning, so we all win. Anyway, this is my recommendation for all kids, whether they are homeschooling or not, it is a great tool. And you don't have to use the Saxon math curriculum, we are using MCP Math.
