Life and homeschooling=(almost) no time for anything else!

Yes, yes, I know that I've neglected the blog for a long time! So here is the lowdown on what is going on:

I just got back from VA and MD and had a wonderful visit with my dear brother and sis in law and their family.

Kai and Corwin are playing soccer. Their first game was today!

Sarah is taking Tae Kwon Do and is a yellow belt!

Sara Kim is doing great at school and making lots of friends!

Donya is studying hard and has lots of homework.

All the girls are playing piano, Donya - 7 years! Sarah - 6 years! Sophia- 2 years!

We're still homeschooling using: Sonlight Core 100 (Donya) core 6 (Sarah) and core 4 (Sophia) for history and literature. We're doing Story of the World Volume 1 with Samuel.

Bible: The girls are reading the bible everyday.I let them choose what passages/chapters they want to read. Sometimes we do a devotional book. Samuel is doing Christian Light Bible grade 3 plus we are reading His Mighty Warrior.

Math:Teaching Textbooks, Algebra 2 (Donya), Pre Algebra (Sarah), Christian Light gr.5 & 3 math (Sophia and Samuel).

Grammar and LA: Vocab. from Latin Roots, Easy Grammar, Wordly Wise, and some AO Lifepacs. Samuel and Sophia are doing A Reason for Handwriting.

Science: Apologia Biology with labs (Donya with a co-op),Apologia Physical Science (Sarah), Apologia Botany (Sophia), Abeka gr.3 (Samuel)


And...various other things I can't think of right now!

Corwin and Kai: right now they are doing various preschool workbooks that I pick up and there. But soon I will starting them on kindergarten. We'll be doing Explode the Code book 1, either Singapore math K or Horizons K. Handwriting without tears and History for Little Pilgrims and maybe a Sing Spell Read and Write workbook.

So right now it's late and we have church tomorrow so I'll post some updated pistures tomorrow!
