Homeschooling begins

Even though spring has the reputation for being about a new beginning after a long winter, fall around here certainly seems to have alot of its own “beginnings.” While we have been educating our children for years we did do some more formal schooling last winter. But this year is the very first official year, meaning I have children old enough to be registered with the state as “homeschoolers.” It’s a very exciting adventure–one we are just beginning and I am still working to get in the swing of it. Here are some pictures from Math class. We use Math U See curriculum. My aunt homeschooled her children using this and it came highly recommended from a number of sources. We really enjoy it.

Here the children learn how to use the number blocks.

Mavis likes to do anything her big brother and sister are doing. I always copy a couple pages for her to play school with.
