The kids and I have been discussing what they want to learn this next year. The lists are varied and sound interesting.
Sam: I want mom to read aloud to me lots! I want to learn about knights, castles, armor, weapons, the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and I want to play. I also want to do lots and lots of science.
Lilly: I want to sew lots. I want to make skirts and pants for me and clothes for my dolls. I will write in my journal everyday to practice spelling, handwriting and creative writing. I want to know more about the stars. I want to learn to cook different things. I want to have art everyday. I want mom to read aloud to me and I want to play games like Yahtzee and Scattergories.
Paige: I want to do everything! I want to cook, sew, write poetry, write a play, sing, dance, play piano, get better at my times tables and have fun.
I know with those three lists I can incorporate all sorts of subjects. I'm looking forward to helping them achieve their goals. I've done my main 'school' shopping with their lists in mind and it was really fun.
Everything has always been laid out for me in the past due to the structure and curriculum I used at home but this year I get to be creative in the presentation and learning of subjects. I'm really looking forward to it. It's making me use my mind :)

Wow, it sounds like your kids are going to have a lot of fun this year. I am sorry about your surgery, that didn't sound fun at all. I hope all is going well. Tell the girls I say hello! :)
Sounds like a fun year a head. I started last week and we had fun too! Every minute is affirming my decision, and I'm grateful for that.
Even though I don't homeschool, sometimes with all the homework we have to do, I feel like their teacher! He He.
Good luck this year with your schooling! Don't forget the devotions!
