Our Homeschool Experiment

I call this our homeschool "experiment", because Tobin does not HAVE to start kindergarten until this coming fall. I figure that gives me a couple months to see if homeschooling works for us. Honestly, the idea of me being in charge of what my child learns scares me. Am I really cut out for this? I have done a lot of research, and we have enjoyed the last three months of education. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...
 
 
 
We received our curriculum for My Father's World Kindergarten the first week of January, and we were so excited, we started kindergarten the very next week!
 
 
My little man turned 5 in February, and he is so excited to learn how to read.
 
 
He has grown up A LOT in the last year and a half!
 
 
Of course little brother is learning along the way too. He wouldn't want to be left out of course, but the best part is watching big brother go out of his way to include him. Usually, I teach Tobin, then he turns around and teaches Jonah. So sweet.
 
 
 
What better place to start than with the days of Creation?
Tobin loved coloring, cutting out, and glueing these numbers all by himself.
(the "O" at the end is Tobin's addition=our planet.)
