Back to school

Sean hit lunch today with just a little copywork left for after quiet time. Chris is in his preK year and I may have to find a few more things for him to do because he was done by 9:30 and wanted more. James still has a final for one of his over the summer classes, but he is rolling right into the 10th grade today.

Sean has a marked increase in writing this year, and he was a bit reluctant at first, but he stepped it up and it has been an overall peaceful day(despite a certain toddler who put a fresh crack in my Kindle screen).


This year James is taking a few classes online and a few with me. He is putting together a computer course on his own and I will name and grade the course depending on where he goes with it. His schedule looks something like this:
English 2
Latin 3
Chemistry
Geometry
American History
Integrated Health and Fitness
Computers...

Sean's third grade year:
Religious Education
Christian Studies 1
Faith and Life 3
St. Patrick's Summer by Marigold Hunt
Loyola Treasury of Saints

Latin
Latina Christiana

Math
Math Mammoth 3
Dreambox

Composition
Writing & Rhetoric: Fables, and Narrative 1

Grammar and Spelling
English Grammar Recitation 1
Rod & Staff Spelling 4

Literature and Poetry
Farmer Boy
Charlotte's Web
The Moffats
Poetry for the Grammar Stage

D'Aulaires Greek Myths 
Astronomy
States and Capitals
Seton Health 3

Chris is paying around with
Rightstart math A
Hooked on Phonics Pre-K
Leapfrog Letter Factory
and some Kumon workbooks

Sean and Chris will both learn the grade level appropriate recitations from Memoria Press and hopefully we'll make use of my beat up copy of Drawing with Children.

Mike is, well, doing what Mike does best: breaking things and making a mess. ;)
