Here we go again...


Year two has just started for Buttercup. We're at the end of week one and she's already asking, "When do I get to the hard stuff?" The joys of teaching the precocious. I think after a few bumps the weeks should go smoothly. Already I've decided to alter the schedule -- the benefit of homeschooling, of course, is that one can change the schedule as necessary. Week one ended with a scrapbooking day. We've decided to do one page for each state as we cover them in geography. We're starting with New England and Maine is our first. Buttercup's excited to be scrapbooking (not Mom's favorite hobby -- "but, where's the yarn?"). Today's result was worth the effort. I think she's absorbing the state information and having fun in the process.
