2013-2014 Curriculum Update

We're almost done with the first semester of homeschool so why not update you now on what we've been doing all fall and will continue to do for the rest of the school year.

Half-Pint - Preschool
Letter of the Week (but I'm VERY relaxed on her school . . . )

Doc - Therapies
Infant teacher - about every other week
Occupational therapy - every other week
Physical therapy - every week
Speech therapy - every other week
(each is about 1 hr at a time)

Thank goodness for God's grace and direction.  I have felt like a complete failure more than once when it comes to schooling my kids or maintaining therapy on my own during the rest of the week but for some odd reason - okay, a God reason - they do continue to learn and grow and amaze me.  Thank you Jesus for Your blessed help each day!
