My 7yr old uses BJU and my 6yr old uses Spectrum spelling. I plan to switch my 7yr old to Spectrum once he finishes the BJU book.

We school yr round and just take breaks when needed.

DD just started 1st grade material and is using AAR 2 Abeka math 1 FLL 1 WWE 1 BJU science 1 BJU heritage studies 1 We might add in a spelling soon.

Thanks everybody! I have added lots of read alouds in and we take fields when we are able to. When we get the tax return I am going to add in art and a few other fun things I think my kids will enjoy.

I thought it was a very cute movie and my 6 and 7yr olds loved it! It might be a little violent because Nicole Kidmans character is a taxidermist and trying to stuff Paddington but I think the movie is perfectly fine for kids of all ages.

Did you have the ACA penalty? There was a glitch with early filers with the ACA penalty. The computer system put a hold on the refunds. IRS is finally going in manually and processing the returns. You should have a direct deposit date very soon. I filed the 23rd and no update on where's my refund yet but I called the IRS and told the hold was lifted today and I should have my refund by next week.

She misses the public school cut off by 3 weeks so she is technically a K'er but more on 1st grade level. Thank you ladies. I always feel like we need to do more because our days are so short but it's nice to know we are doing enough.

Ok thank you! That's good to know :)

DS is 2nd grade and is doing: CLE LA 3 BJU math 3 SOTW 2 Science right now is library books and experiments DD is in K and is doing: CLE math 1 First language lessons 1 Writing with ease 1 SOTW 2 Science is library books and experiments All about reading 1 ETC 3 for phonics reinforcement/handwriting/spelling The problem is I feel that we get done so fast. My K'er is usually done in less than an hr and my 2nd grader is done in bout 1.5 hrs. Is there anything I need to add or are they just quick workers?

I leave my 7.5 yr old every Friday for two hours while the girls have ballet. He hates going and I can trust him to sit and watch tv, read a book or play while I am gone. He has been left alone 1x a week since Aug. and he does perfectly fine with it.

Thank you! It looks like I have a lot to research. l

My 7yr old can read one in bout 30 minutes.
