We just wrapped up our first year of homeschooling so we are keeping it really simple this summer. We are doing a reading challenge through our local library, memorizing skip counting from cc, the books of the Bible, and some poetry plus working on habit training and getting outside a lot.
We’ve basically been on the same path as y’all (my oldest is 9 too) and this will be our first summer working on CC memory work over the summer too…I’m nervous about essentials as well because my kiddo does not like writing 🤪
Same, mine likes to write…but only on his terms and about things he’s interested in. So I’m curious to see how Essentials goes this first year! Lots of people have told me to not worry the first year if you can’t do all the papers or if they dictate to you and you write it down so I’m trying to keep that in mind so I don’t stress us out 😂
