Homeschooling - 6.5 Weeks In

   This week was a long one. We've been getting B and Odie ready to go back to public school, which starts on Wednesday of this week - in two days... On Saturday morning, I bailed the kids out of bed at 5 am, and they got to see the International Space Station and the meteor shower. :)
   As for the actual curriculum portion of homeschooling, it's basically in full swing. ZoKo's been blasting through reading books for history and science this last week, and we're planning on picking up Latin and The Book of Virtues this week. Meanwhile, here it is, grade 2, progress report 5...
