Such a wonderful morning...

I know that school isn't finished yet, but Madeline is in Chinese class with her daddy so I had a few minutes. We start the day with Math and in the past, Math has been such a struggle. Well, today she got perfect papers in it all around! I am so proud of her. And she told me that she really likes the layout of this book. She likes having the little practice box first thing and then doing her lesson herself (instead of me teaching her) and then the review with me and finishing up with her assigned work. Praise the Lord! I think we might have finally found her the perfect book! The Lord is so good!

1st day of school!

What a wonderful day at school it was! Today, we had 10 subjects. The day started off before 7 (she was ready to go). Because handwriting was today, we started with that, and shockingly, she got extra credit for knowing what book it came from. I did a quote from Pride & Prejudice today and we have never read that book. Then we jumped straight into Math. Math is so different this year. I am used to teaching her, instead of her learning on her own, but this year, she has all of the information in her book. So after the warm up box, she read the lesson to herself and then came and did the examples on the board. It went great. Then she did a short practice and we corrected it together. Then she had complete confidence to do her work. It went great! The other lesses were pretty simple, but she isn't happy with History this year. No coloring sheets and a lot more writing. Basically this year she will learn how to take notes! She did great though and I am very proud of her. Really ready for tomorrow! I'm so glad we are back in school :)
