Historically, we have begun our new school years on the first Monday after Stewart’s August 19th birthday.  This year, however, is different.  Because Stewart is not starting FLCC until after Labor Day, and with because we have nothing exciting on our calendar for early May that we want to hurry up to finish school by, we opted to start school September 5th. 

That left us with a few days of late summer we normally do not have. 

And the weather is just sort of crummy and the pool is green.

Not everyone waited to start school.  Marie started on August 21st.  And after seeing her begin, Tabitha decided to start on August 22nd.

One of the nicest things about homeschool is finding what works best.  Marie likes to rise at 6:30 and get some work done before breakfast.  She likes to do work in the evening, after dinner, as well.  Tabitha is also embracing the after dinner hours.
