I thought you might be interested to see how we do homeschooling in our family. Using the Abeka curriculum from Pensacola, FL, Tirzah, our second grader, does the video school while I get to be Hardy's teacher. (I used to teach K4 and K5 for six years so kindergarten is my specialty.)
We start school with Bible class at 8:30 every morning and finish school around 1:30 in the afternoon. In the above picture, Tirzah, Hardy, and Acarith are pledging to the flag in their Bible class. Hardy and Tirzah do Bible class together, and sometimes Acarith joins for fun. Mrs. Jadine Chappell is Tirzah's teacher and always keeps Bible class fun.
Hardy does his schoolwork at a little desk in the dining room. While I work with him, Acarith "babysits" Selah in either her room or Selah's. The roommtime is good for the girls and helps me and Hardy to have some good one-on-one time.
Acarith loves to do school. She enjoys counting, learning her letters, and coloring papers. About ten o'clock she does her papers at the table.
Here is Selah by Tirzah's desk in the schoolroom. As long as she is good and quiet, she is allowed to be in the schoolroom with Tirzah. She plays with blocks, looks at books, and says "hi" to Tirzah. Tirzah loves it when Selah hangs out with her. Ten thirty Selah takes her morning nap and the kids go outside on recess--their favorite part of school!
I love Tirzah's little desk; it fits perfectly into the schoolroom which is about ten by eight feet. Tirzah does very well with her video school and especially enoys having classmates. Our last day of school is May 16th (if all continues to go well), and I must admit, we are all looking forward to summer break!
