We will be notebooking everything that can be notebooked. I love the concept of keeping up with what they have learned through notebooks!

Nicholas is starting the Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading, Memory, and Art. He is very excited every day to "do school."

Kensli is just hanging out and learning some with Nicholas. She already knows what "A" says through hearing me tell Nicholas.

Looks like a full and fun year! Add all field trips, church activities, sports, etc. it will be a VERY EXCITING YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
