First Day of School!

Rill is in Kindergarten! We started school August 1st with a very light schedule. We are adding one new subject each week and hope to have a full slate by Labor Day.

We started out with phonics using The Ordinary Parents Guide to Teaching Reading. The next week we added math using Right Start Math Level A. This week we are adding Before Five in a Row so that Dimple can join us (for now we try to school when Drogo is asleep). We will be adding Handwriting Without Tears next week and Five in a Row Volume One the week after that. I will also be adding Art and Music Appreciation, memory work (Bible and poetry), and Catechism. After Labor Day Rill will be starting a co-op on Wednesday mornings where he'll have Science, Karate, and Art.

So far things are going well and Rill is doing wonderfully! He has really taken off with reading and is looking forward to the day when he can read Farmer Boy all by himself. He's really enjoying math and seems to do better at it than his mother did. Hopefully he'll take after Dad in that subject.
