Corinne is in 1st grade and is doing so well with reading and writing. She loves to read ahead in her Bible reader and frequently reads to Caleb (which he loves).
She has piano lessons 3 times a week most weeks which is working well. She loves to compose and definitely spends more time doing that than reading music. Since she's only five she has plenty of time to perfect music reading. Here is one of her latest compositions....

Caleb is in Kindergarten and is getting really good at writing his letters, doing addition and is starting to read (which he is REALLY excited about!)
He requires more instruction from me when working, so I don't have any pictures!
When he finishes his work, he loves to play whatever Calvin has been playing with!
We do Science and Bible together and even Cal participates! I have loved working on scripture memory with the kids because I get to memorize too!
The hardest thing about teaching Corinne and Caleb has been keeping Calvin occupied. Next year I will have more structured activities for him, but for now, lots of creative play (and messes for me to clean up)!
If anyone wants to see my house trashed, come by around noon when we're done with school!
Wednesday's we take a day off from formal instruction and head to Wacky Wednesday's, our local homeschooling co-op where the kids get to learn from another home school mom. They have made lots of new friends and so have I!
We're still tweaking and perfecting our routine, but each week seems to get easier and more fun!
