We got home Sunday night and the boys had their first class on Wednesday morning. Of course, Nicholas woke up with a fever that morning, but otherwise everything went well. We decided to do a program this year called Classical Conversations. It is a homeschool co-op, so everyone is using the same curriculum. The kids go to class and the teacher presents the material for the week and the kids have a fine arts/ music lesson, do a couple of science experiments, show and tell, snack, lunch, outside time, etc. Then during the week we review the work at home. The next week, they go back and the teacher "drills" them on last week's material and presents new lesson. It is based on the classical model so there is lots of memorization.
Jackson is in the Kindergarten and Francis is in the three-year-old class. They seem to be enjoying it and I am amazed at how much they are learning. It is a lot of work for me at home, but we are starting to get into a routine and I like knowing they are getting a solid start.

This sound so much fun! We found a co-op here as well. I love that I have other families around us doing the homeschool thing. Do you teach as part of the co-op?
Hugs,
