Changes

My two oldest boys have been using Lifepac again because they begged me. I let them and now they don't want to use it anymore. They are very frustrated that it doesn't give instructions at all. So I have searched for something else since the writing with Rod & Staff is to much for now. I don't really have any money right now, so what I have is what we can use. I was pretty discouraged yesterday, but I prayed and then did a search online. This is what I found, a site that offers worksheet generators and e-books. I downloaded 2 ebooks for $4 and will try these for now. The boys did their first pages in them yesterday and really liked them. The books will take them to about 6th grade, so these combined with Calculadder will be our math curriculum for now.

I have been struggling with lack of energy and pain in my joints for the past few years. Since I have started exercising and have lost 18 pounds I have begun to feel better. I also have begun taking spirulina tablets and liquid calcium. I think all of it combined is really helping me. Having more energy is really making me want to go back to Sow curriculum. So next year, hopefully we will pick it back up and use it again.

Chloe has started to read this week! It is so exciting! She tends to want to just guess, so I am having to continue focusing her on looking and sounding the words out. But she is doing great!
