What a difference!

School has been quite enjoyable this week. What a relief that is! It's not because my kids changed overnight either, its because I changed my expectations. Instead of making them do a whole spelling lesson, they're doing one page. In math and Latin, instead of moving ahead as soon as they've mastered a lesson, we're lingering a little while to make them feel good about knowing it. Because of these simple changes we've had time to do science, Bible and history, including projects.

Next week we'll continue at the same pace, but I'm going to try to introduce reading time. I've wanted to implement a reading session for quite some time, but I haven't been able to yet. I'm looking forward to getting some of the great books we have read.
