Monday Morning...No, it's Tuesday already!!

Wow, I was just thinking it was a Monday! My Monday was so good (aka, nothing major was wrong; unless you count our bedroom carpet having to be ripped up because of leaking water from outside somewhere and last night we had to sleep on our hide-a-bed, which wasn't as comfortable as we thought it would be!) that I guess I figured it was a Sunday. Oh well :) It's Tuesday!

Today I plan on starting the kids with First Form from Memoria Press. I have 'done' a few lessons myself and think that we can do this. It will take time and patience while we figure it all out, since we are learning together, but it will be okay. For foreign language then we will do Latin three to five times a week, depending on the pace we need to go, and do the other languages on the other days. Lee really likes Live Mocha, as do I, but Fox thinks it's too much work. Unfortunately, although it is 'free', some features are unaccessible unless you pay. I haven't even looked into the cost of it.

Also, I found what I hope to be a good music program for Fox to learn the guitar. Lee already has a program for the trumpet but getting her to actually do it is another thing. I am thinking we will start putting that in our school day next week or so. I have seen blocks of time on many AO schedules for music practice but I am not sure if that is when they have their children taught by someone else or they do it at home. I guess we will see how it goes.

I still want to add in Art and Composer study, too! For that I am thinking that I will take the pictures of the paintings I have and hang them up around the 'classroom' on some days. We have learned about Claude Monet so far and I have quite a few of his paintings. I also have John Sargents paintings but do not have the biographical information, I don't think. We did enjoy studying the paintings on the few occasions that we have done it. As for composer study, they love the music! I guess I can play the music during school time and just mention who the composer is. That would be our 'study'.

Well, I still feel like it's Monday! It's as if today is the start of our school week although we had a full day yesterday...well, I just don't know... :)
