On our agenda today

We discussed mythology, and have been covering some of the Greek and Roman gods and goddesses.  The girls love hearing these stories.

We did some California work sheets, since Daddy is in San Francisco this week for a class/training.

We were sitting here working on mental math.  I gave the five year old this problem...100-100+50. Without even thinking or counting, she replied "50, that was easy!".

2012-2013 School year has begun!

We started our 2012-2013 school year on 30 July 2012!  I am going to post our curriculum we accomplished each week.  Feel free to use any ideas you see to help in your teaching experience.  We like to do hands on work, but still use workbooks, pencils, and paper.  I haven't figured out a way to do everything hands on...yet!

We are sticking with last year's schedule, it seemed to work really well for us.
