The new school year has begun! The Tenwek Coop officially started this week, and although we are not a part of the coop (because our kids are still too young) we officially began our new homeschool curriculum for Kindergarten! Caleb is a Kindergartener this year, and Kai is a Preschooler, and they do all of their lessons together and do rather well for themselves. We are using the Abeka Homeschool Curriculum, which is great. I chose it because a friend from my MOPS group in Duluth recommended it, and it's truly a great curriculum.
An official preschool class will begin next week for two mornings a week, and Kai will be a part of it. The mom of a family that just arrived (and who will be here for four months, so at least for the entire fall semester) has offered to teach it and we are thrilled! It will be so wonderful for Kai to have his own class and something special just for him. And during that preschool time, one of the boys from that family who is Caleb's age will come to our house to do some school and to play with Caleb. I am so thankful for this arrangement!
Homeschooling overseas is certainly not the same as signing up our kids for school in the States, but the Lord has been very good and everything has come together wonderfully for our kids' school year this year!
