Big Changes!!

Wow, I really need to update more often.  I guess I've been really busy with my newest student this year.
My son Kenny started out the year at the Private School he's attended his whole life, but they switched 7th grade to Connections Academy.  Well, it wasn't going well so after a lot of prayer, we decided to bring him home and Homeschool him.
He absolutely loves it and I do too.  It does have it's challenges tho when your trying to help 2 children. There have been some trouble spots with things I don't understand, but were getting thru them.
I decided to use all ACE with him.  It really helps take a big load off me so I can still work more with Kennidy.  I liked that I could place him in the right levels for each grade.  We made some adjustments with WB, I moved him up (as it said to do 4th and he's in 7th). I placed him in the 6th gr. level and it's working out just fine. He is LD in Spelling.
I definetly am seeing where his LD areas are and hoping to help him overcome those this year.
Kennidy is really enjoying having someone else home with her and it does keep me on my toes as well.
Of course I'm still finding time to obscess (sp?) over curric., I think it's my hobby! LOL
Take care
