2013-2014 School Year

We started our current school year about 3 weeks ago already and the boys have been doing great.  Over the summer Nathan has matured a little and is now able to sit for longer periods and LOVES doing his worksheets!  (I often have to get out another one for him while I finish working with Josh since he goes through them so quickly.)  Josh picked right up where he left off with reading and Math and still finds our read-aloud times to be his favorite times of the day.

To kick off each new year our co-op has a back to school beach day and we had a really good time!

A really cute idea I've seen on several blogs is back to school interview questions that the kids answer at the beginning of each school year so I thought we'd start that tradition this year and these were the boy's answers:
