ID 2


well, it's official. i'm a home schooling mom. remember the classical school isaiah is at is a hybrid. so isaiah has his teacher at school two days a week and she send lesson plans home for me to teach 3 days a week. the anxiety of him going to school subsided yesterday afternoon, but as the evening approached i realized today was going to be an even bigger day. at least for me.
but instructional day 2 (ID 2) was a success. we had a fantastic time.


alaythia was SO into doing school also. i had several worksheets for her to do, but she mostly just wanted to join in with us. and she did. isaiah worked hard. he did what i asked and did it well. i'm sure every day won't be like today, but i was so thankful for today. for his hard work and his strong mind.


it was a great day together. and i'm thankful to be doing it. not be thinking about it, wondering how it will go, but to actually be doing it. and i'm thankful to get to be there to teach them, to watch for myself as they work hard and have fun.

Awesome! Looks like you all are having fun! Any time in your schedule for a long recess with the Caskeys?? We'll squeeze our school around one if you would like to play! Elijah was just talking yesterday about getting together with you all; we miss ya'll!!

The pattern blocks bring back so many memories. They were Chris's favorite plaything when he was Isaiah's age. We still have our pattern blocks and patterns; I couldn't bear to part with them.

Isaiah is a lefty!!! Awesome! No wonder he is so bright. Your hardest task will be to keep him challenged. Always give him time to explore on his own. He will continue to surprise you with things outside the box.
