Arianna Is a 1st Grader and Hunter is three. We are homeschooling!

Okay so today was a Monday for our house. We had all our plans laid out and school lessons all ready. I even let Arianna pick what we did first and second and so on today. But for some reason I had her attention about 20 min and that was it. So after we tried making it more exciting, and trying to give Hunter something better to keep him occupied. Then trying a break and some stretching and coming back with a clear head. And then trying to get Arianna and Hunter to teach each other so that is was fun, which lead to a fight over who should be on the white board first. Then literally sitting down in prayer and asking for peace and focus in out home. Now would it not amaze you that, the one thing I should have tried the first time finally worked. We prayed together and seemed to get focused on each subject and made it through to break time. Now for lunch, Hunters nap and Arianna reading. So what started off a bit rough I think will end very peacefully. Thank you God for your quick answers to our prayers, and let me say I am sorry I didn't look to your first when in need. Lesson learned for all of us in the Owens house. I am now feeling much more encouraged about this week and next week. Arianna will have her new classical conversations classes starting next week on Tuesdays. We are so excited about this and her tutor and i am thrilled to be a help mom in class. So I hope to have much to report next week on how great and successful it will be. i would encourage any home school parent to have their children in Classical conversations by age 5. It is amazing what they will learn and master each year. You should check it out at classicalconversations.com. More schooling to come and now to get pizza for lunch. Of course adding a side of fruit for some nutritents.
