School Began

To say it has been busy is an understatement. We started school on Monday. Went quite well too but it was a different start then we normally have. Mark is doing chemistry this year but dislikes science. Or so he says.

I pulled out the Wild Goose Company’s chemistry kits gathering dust in our basement for the last four for him to work through. We did them together and he seemed OK with them. We spent three mornings doing the one kit, and in the afternoon he did some math drill sheets and started in on his Key to Algebra books. I also pointed out his chemistry books that he was free to cruise through if he wanted.

Surprise! He came running exclaiming; “Look, this is just what we did!” He was thrilled and went on to tell me that he thought he was going to enjoy science this year. YES!!! What a great way to kick off the school year.

The boys will more than satisfy any PE requirements this coming year. Just take a look at their latest practice
