September has gone by quickly. Too quickly! We do keep ourselves occupied. We have been doing our Five In A Row books. (FIAR) The Story About Ping, Lentil, Madeline
and now A Pair of Red Clogs.
These stories have all been wonderful!

We are also doing RightStart Math and Explode the Code for phonics. And when Tavin is feeling really cooperative we use Teach Your Child To Read In 100 Easy Lessons.
We do our "formal" lessons in the mornings and have our afternoons to play. Monday afternoons we have a scheduled get together with friends for play.
(For the moms as well as the kids.)

Tuesday afternoons are our library time for story time and picking out more books.
Wednesday and Thursday afternoons are open.
On Friday's we go to an enrichment co-op. Music, art, PE and unit studies for infants up to 3rd grade. (The babies just hang out and look cute, of course.)
Sounds like a lot going on to me. I hope it isn't too much.
