Back at it! Doing our best, still trying to find what works for us with our new routine.
The kids did well. Even coming up with a comedy routine during unstructured playtime. (Making a script, schedule, invites- very cute, hoping to get them to re enact so I can record it!)
MATH-
DD finished Saxon 2 months ago, rather than starting on the Saxon 3 I decided to spend the rest of the year in review and start 3 in June/July.
DS is struggling in math so we stopped Saxon 5/4 and are working on review as well. Going back to triple digit multiplication. We are doing one short lesson a day of review. Not sure if we will repeat 5/4 when we pick it up again, start up where we left off or find a new curriculum?

I'm so glad you're back! What do ya'll think of The Phantom Tollbooth? I read it aloud and just didn't think it had the same impact had the kids read it independently (to visually see the homophones, etc.)
Have you looked into Family Math
http://www.amazon.com/Family-Math-Equals-Jean-Stenmark/dp/0912511060
or Living Math ?
http://thecurriculumchoice.com/2009/06/living-math-curriculum-review/
Since C loves to read and ya'll enjoy history - Living Math may be a good way to review and get engaged.
Just a thought.
Yes, I agree. It doesn't have the same impact- I have had to stop and explain things quite a bit which I find is taking some of the enjoyment out of it. I am going to have Chandler read it on his own in a couple of years.
Thanks for the link- I will look in to it.
