School's Out For Christmas Break! WooHoo!

On this day, Caleigh decided to dress up in the boys' shirts & bring them snacks from her kitchen while they were hard at work!!! She's so funny!

We are celebrating today because school is out for Christmas Break!!! We have learned so much in the past few weeks & the boys' progress has really shown me that we've done the right thing for now by homeschooling. They are reading so much better & with more fluency...it really is fun to watch. We are still struggling with Math, but I am hoping it comes along with a little more practice & self confidence! One thing that has been so nice is for them to be able to finish something in one day...they can write a rough draft of a paper, edit it & then re-write it nicely by the end of our school day. They can see their ideas come to life, jot them down, and have their finished product in one day....it really has been fun for them to see how they can "finish" a project with a little effort! Caleigh loves having them home...she is learning how to leave them "lone" when they're working hard or in their rooms reading. She brings me books to read & now has her own desk with her markers & crayons & colored paper. She likes to play school! The boys were invited to come to their old classes' Christmas Parties today at 2:00....so, I'm off to wake the little one & get her ready to go! They've been ready all day!!! Have a great weekend.
