We are Homeschooling for Now!

Starting to get into a routine now, although I do miss the routine we had when Devon went to school. We are finishing out this year doing homeschooling, then where ever we are living in September, we will enroll him into 1st grade. Devon is really easy to homeschool, as he loves to learn, loves to be challenged, and enjoys doing schoolwork. Hopefully that continues through the years :)
Kylee is a little different that way. She is excited to do "school work" when Devon does, but it only lasts about 10 minutes and she is done. Her favorite words "I don't know how" :) We are only working on writing her letters, as she already recognizes all of them by sight.
For Devon, I have found a couple of websites that I can download free worksheets - they are all categorized by grade level. We don't sit down for more than 1/2 hour at a time, but try to do that several times a day. Everyday I try to fit in listening time - I am reading some simple chapter books to him, Reading - Devon reads to me the Level 1 readers!!, Math - worksheets, phonics -worksheets, Writing - he draws a picture about something we did the day before and writes a sentence or two about it. Also, we have just started writing a letter to someone of his choice and we will mail it - so you may get one in the future.
I am enjoying it, but wow - its alot of work! I don't think I could homeschool every year. And Devon really misses his friends - he is too social to keep home :) We also try to go to all the storytime/craft times at the library.
