Sick days

The Elmore Classical Academy will be closed through the rest of the week due to a very unpleasant stomach virus. We will be spending the rest of the week getting better and using lots of purel, clorox wipes and lysol. LOL
Hope you have a great week.

Our school year has been rolling along quite well. N and EG are working on their phonics and reading skills, thanks to The Ordinary Parents Guide to Teaching Reading. While at first I was sold on Horizon Math, I have began researching RightStart Math. I love the idea of games and workbooks. I have also switched from Handwriting without tears to using Kumon workbooks. They are absolutely delightful and the kids love them.
K has finished Prima Latina and is about to start Latina Christina and Lingua Angelica (a latin translation program). We began using McGuffey's Spelling Primer for spelling and vocabulary. History has been mainly focused on books on American History from the library. Same for science.

Things are going really well here in Ktown. The kids are settling in to our new schedule, which is wonderful.
