First Grade Preview

We are planning to start our homeschool curriculum with Ruth on Monday, so Jeff and I have been busy talking, organizing, looking through material and getting all the supplies ready in the last couple of weeks. We are excited (and also a little nervous, truth be told), and the excitement seems to have caught on. Today Ruth asked if she could "just do one Spelling lesson for practice". By the end of the day, she had done three Spelling lessons, a Math lesson and an introductory History lesson. And she had looked through the Science book on her own with Weston. We literally had to make her stop. She's so motivated, and that is so very neat to see! She will be an easy student to teach (I hope) because she loves to learn. We are all looking forward to this experience and will keep you posted on our journey through First Grade.
