Curriculum and School Room 2017-2018

Well, we are one week into the 2017-2018 school year! It seems like you just get your stride with homeschooling, and they get another year older and you start all over! ugh. Why can't they just stay little??? I feel like I can totally teach pre-k at this point. I can rock it even.

I am homeschooling 3-- 2nd grade, 5th grade, and 7th grade. We are mostly classical homeschoolers with a secret desire to be delight directed...but I am a bit too much type A to take that too far. . .

Some of our choices this year are continuations of what has worked, some are new, and some are returning back to old favorites. I have also started a new co-op this year, our very first co-op ever! I am equal parts excited and nervous.

The students!

Our School Room!

And where we do it . . . We redid our school room last year, and we love it! I mostly sit at the kitchen table and whoever I am working with rotates through...but the school room acts as great storage, independent work is often done there, and some lessons if we need the white board or some other resource we need in there.
