A week ago today was monumental for me.

The first day of school.

Oh, it has been simply wonderful. I had missed it so badly and I didn’t even know it.

Schedules help so dearly, I wouldn’t get anything done if we did not have one.

Mom, Bre, and I do a Bible study in the mornings after our quiet time. We use the books from Doorposts, we’ve been going through Polished Cornerstones, but right now we are taking a break and doing Beauty and the Pig. These studies have helped in strengthening our walks with Christ. I have been extremely encouraged and blessed through these studies.

If writing were a sandwich I’d eat it. Okay, so I was using one of the things I learned today in writing (experimenting with sentence opening). In writing we are using Student Writing Intensive Group C from The Institute for Excellence. Mom, Bre, and I have learned a lot already. The teacher, Andrew Pudewa, is simply hilarious, we’ve cracked up quite a lot while watching the lessons.

In Algebra, we are using Video Text. In my world: The best ever math program. Algebra is such fun!

For History, Geography, Literature, and everything else that can be tied in, we use Tapestry of Grace. The author, Mrs. Somerville, is amazing, she ties everything into one. It’s like relish to my day. I highly recommend it!

Within the sphere of science, we use the textbooks from Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc.
