When it's good, it's good...

Well, we've been getting back in the swing of school over the last few weeks, but I must admit: The lack of schedule has been my fault. We've been running like crazy around here and it has made school very difficult to get to. However, we are getting on track. And this week is no exception.

We started this week very slowly, but I have been determined to get everything done that I had slated for each day. So far so good. Brent is willing to work and wants to make it through first grade, so he is working hard.

And I LOVE my new software that I've been using to track our progress. Edu-Track has been a wonderful addition to our schooling. Brent finishes his work for each day and leaves it on my desk. And during naptime, I grade it and input it into the software, which tallies everything for me. It couldn't be simpler! Well, it might be. The only way it would be a bit easier is if I could put the lessons in for a couple weeks at a time and then I'd only have to input the grade for each assignment. This is highly doable with this software, just not with my schedule. I never know from one day or week to the next how much we'll get done. Anyway, I love it. I truly hope someone who reads this will give it a try.

Next I just have to get Clayton interested in doing schoolwork. But he's only 4 and is just much to wiggly to sit still for anything like school. :) But he tries. He loves to cut paper and draw, so that is a start. He has a TON of time before it even becomes an issue.

Cheers! And Happy Tuesday!
