Grandpa Lauro, Grandma Conchita, and Hectorin have come and gone. Convention is over (except for one more weekend of Saginaw II. Last night, I made a list for both Kelly and Christian to do a practice run on their homeschool. We are missing some of the Handwriting materials we need, but everything else is on track.

The big surprise was that when I gave Kelly and Christian their Spelling and Placement Survey tests, they had did much better then I might have expected. We are using a book called Spelling Power. I am not sure who is the author, but the tests I gave the kids, put Christian at mid-seventh grade level and Kelly at mid-tenth grade level.

The table we purchased for homeschool turns out to be way to high for writing comfortably, so Lorena went down to Costco and bought a couple of smaller tables and folding chairs to go with them. Everything is set up in the living room, but we have decided to set everything up in the Bonus room for now.

I wrote out the lesson plan for today for each of the kids. They have a light math assignment, some reading, and a couple of other things to do while I am here at work. After work, I will spend time with them on spelling, math, dictation, and anything else they cannot do themselves. Lorena will listen to Christian read from a couple of different books.
