Back to School

So it's that time of year! We need to get Carsyn going on school again. He had some small work books that he did through out the summer but the time has come to get his curriculum going. We're still using Maeser Academy Yes it cost more then "free" but for us, it's what we need. We looked into things like "connections academy" and K-12 which are both free online public schools but the problem with those were, He is required so many hours a day and so many days a year just like a regular public school. Well with the other kids there is no way I would be able to focus on school work from 9-3 every day. And there are some days we wake up and just decide it isn't happening today. With the online public schools that wouldn't be ok, With Maeser, the lessons are 1-4 hours but we're usually do it in 2 and if we don't finish by May, it's ok. We really love it's flexibility, and we Love how it's LDS based. Even I was learning stuff from the scriptures with his work. Carsyn will be doing 3rd grade work this year except for Math he will be doing 4th grade. Yes he is only 7 but keep in mind he started reading really young and we started 1st grade when he was 5 and even now the work seems so easy for him. We feel very blessed to be able to home school him. And I know it's whats best for him.
