Technically, school started for us two weeks ago but they were really just a warm up. Math drills, poetry memorization, nothing too strenuous. But the big guns came out this week with the start of our church co-op and classes with MODG. Hard core stuff - Chemistry, Advanced Math, Latin. Surprisingly, it hasn't been too bad.
Mom has made a big push to get Little Man to read. He's almost there; it's just a matter of holding his attention long enough to finish a single page. Jare-jare-binx can't stop reading. He's discovered how fun actual books can be, as opposed to the comic books he's been absorbed in for the past few years. Right now he's plowing through the
Great Brain series, one of Mom's favorites when she was a kid. Angel just keeps on keeping on. Coco is dying to "do school", even asking at ten o' clock at night if she can do her school (why is she up so late?). We try to keep her entertained with coloring books, pattern blocks, and learning games on the computer but she's not satisfied unless she can do whatever Little Man is doing. Edna, beginning her junior year, has started studying for the SAT and suddenly realized how short two more years of school is. Meemz is entering high school with mixed feelings, rather daunted by the sight of weekly essays and Algebra 2 but still enjoying the fact that she's officially a big kid.
So school is off to a smooth start.We're hoping it stays that way.
