Toes in the water… our homeschool week in review

First week wrap-up…

By Caitlin Fitzpatrick Curley Leave a Comment

So… we officially started homeschooling on Monday. I thought I’d do a first week wrap-up. In all honesty, the only real difference (so far) between this week and last week is that we are recording what we do each day. I had originally planned to be the sole recorder but Leo received a journal with space…
