My first homeschool blog!

As some of you reading this may already know, this will be my first year homeschooling my kids...and we are EXCITED! I plan on using this blog to go into more detail on what the kids are doing here at home. I thought it would be better to separate our homeschool experience from the "family website" since there will be a lot of things to post and write about.

Our first official day of homeschool will be August 25th, 2008. That's not to say the kids haven't learned anything this summer though. Wesley has learned 5 sight words over the past week or so and can use each of them in sentences. Austin is working along side of his big brother but I'm not pushing it too much with him because he is one year behind Wesley in age. If he happens to pick up on it, GREAT!!

I've already purchased and received Wesley's kindergarten curriculum and I've planned out the first 2 weeks. I've decided to only plan out 2 weeks ahead at a time for awhile so I have room to change things later if needed.

If you'd like to continue reading about our homeschool experience please bookmark this blog! I plan to update this weekly, if not daily once we've gotten started!
