Our first day of school this year was Monday, August 21st. We took a field trip with some friends of ours to Southern IL to see the 2017 Solar Eclipse. Totality only lasted a couple of minutes, but it was an incredible sight to see! The pictures do not even come close to showing what it was really like.
Then, on Tuesday, we started easing back into our book work. Since EL has graduated, we only have JJ to do official school with this year, although EL is still doing some light schoolwork to help keep her mind active.

| JJ is now a High School Freshman! |
 |
| We started our day on Tuesday with Toaster Strudels for breakfast, one of our favorite treats. |
 |
| Then, I had the kids write "Thank you" notes for the gifts they received for graduation. I also had JJ write a short field trip report from Monday's trip to see the eclipse. |
The next two days (Wednesday and Thursday), we added Spelling, Grammar, and Spanish. Then, next week, we will add a couple more subjects.
We are using an eclectic mix of different curriculum for JJ this year, which includes the following:
- IL History & US Geography - State History from a Christian Perspective
- Survey of Geology & Archaeology (Earth Science) - Master Books
- Math (Heading into Pre-Algebra this year) - Teaching Textbooks
- Spelling - Sequential Spelling
- Grammar - Easy Grammar Plus
- Composition - Igniting Your Writing
- Spanish - Rosetta Stone
I will try to update as we progress and let you know how things are going with these options.
Keep us in your prayers, and have a great school year!
