Homeschool day 8 of 160

We are back in the saddle with our homeschool now. After the first full day of homeschool with all the neighborhood kids back to their government schools, it is dawning on us again how great are our materials. The math is grand, the literature and history are grand, the music is grand, the science is grand; all of it is grand. We are finishing up reading How to Win Friends and Influence People and will start reading Call It Courage later this week. We started in on the Spelling Power program. Life is exciting the the Chapman household.

We ate shrimp and sang Happy Birthday yesterday for Christian’s eleventh birthday, but the real party will not be until a little later.  We have decided that we will have a family party up at Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah’s house and then invite Christian’s friends Seth and Kendall to go with us to the Wildlife Safari down near Roseburg in Winston.
