We're Back In Business

Time to let the cat out of the bag...Riverside Scholars is back in business. We've decided to homeschool Kade again, (you knew we'd be back)!! We both missed it so much and though he liked his new charter school and was getting all A's...he still enjoyed homeschooling more. Teaching a 7 year old is pretty easy, especially when I don't have an 11 year old too. It's actually totally fun...I missed learning with him and watching him grow. Kade's always had an awesome attitude, he really makes each day a delight.

This week, we've been taking advantage of this warm Arizona weather, it's been in the 70's. We're going on daily walks, having picnics at the park and reading on the swings. Sophia seems to enjoy having him back home. She squeals every morning when we drop off Jax and she realizes Kade (or Red as she calls him) gets to go back home with us.

Now for our curriculum...well, I'm working on it. Luckily, I still have plenty of materials and for what I don't have I will just use free sources online or from the library. Kade's such a positive, snuggly little guy, it's hard not to love every minute of it! He wants to run a race with me too, so we will be signing up and getting ready for that. SO FUN!

Jaxon is still happy at school, he has 3 BFF'S that all seem to be great kids. He's getting good grades and is  learning a lot. As for his book club...it kind of dissolved. I think it was hard for the kids to keep up with the reading schedule (I warned them it was too tough), and it was hard getting everyone together for the monthly meetings. Maybe we'll have to try again when they have their own drivers license. :) Jax invited me to do a little book club with him. Our first book is The Trumpet Of The Swan. He really liked it and is waiting for me to finish it so we can have a discussion. I decided to read aloud w/ Kade so he can join in on the fun, he is also loving it. Kade just finished James And The Giant Peach and is now starting Farmer Boy for his free read.

Flag football just finished up but will start again next month. They loved it and are hoping Kimball will be the coach. Oh, and I've rehired Kimball as the Spanish tutor, nothing like having your Hot Latin Lover hanging around a few times a week! :)
