Today we have already accomplished much work. I find it such a blessing to be able to be my little mans teacher. He is going through his work so fast that I do not know if I will have enough for him the rest of the year. He usually fulfills his goals (ACE) and then some. I am thinking of changing to Abecka next year but am not too sure on the DVD thing. I go through this every few months and think of switching curriculum. Thomas is so smart and I feel sometimes he is not challenged enough with the ACE. I like the Abecka but have issue with DVDs and I also like Rod and Staff. I want to stick to a Bible based curriculum for sure. I have even toyed with the idea of putting him into a christian school but the tuition is way more than we could afford on one income. So any input from my fellow homeschoolers will be appreciated ;o). He will be 2nd grade next year.
We finished school early today and are headed to Lincoln county to get big sissy and bubby Devin. We will have a busy weekend! Hubby and I were blessed with a new bedroom suit so we will rearrange furniture this weekend....yeah! Sissy Amber gets our old bedroom set. She is excited to get a queen bed instead of a single!! Devin will get sissy Amber's set. So he wont have to bunk with Thomas!! He too is excited!! What a blessing! Now how we will fit all this in 3 tiny bedrooms......to be continued....lol!!!!
The Lord is good and continues to pour his blessings on our family!!

My opinion is that if ACE works and everyone is happy with it, don't change it. I was in an ACE school up through 9th grade. I completed 1.5 grades per year and still was outside playing with the younger grades by 11am. They just let me play and read.
And ya know what? I did BJU/Abeka for 10th/12th & skipped my Jr. year. Graduated valdictorian at 16 and got a scholarship to college. So there is nothing wrong with sticking with what works.
I agree...lol
He is flying through, I try to slow him but he likes to do the work.
I went to an ACE school all the way through and that is one reason I choose ACE. I figured I could teach what I knew....kwim
I guess I just get the itch every once in a while. I do agree though to stick with what works.
Thanks Daisy!

You wouldn't be a homeschool mom if you didn't get that "itch to switch!!" LOL! We love ACE here but I have changed our Math to Teaching Textbooks.
