My School Year's Resolutions

I was reading Tonya's post over at Tonya's Two Cents about setting "School Year Resolutions" and wanted to take her up on the challenge and post mine:

This school year:

1. I want to nurture their love for God in our everyday school and life.
2. I want my children to get a solid comprehension of their math facts.
3. I want them to be able to hand write a letter or book report without it being an excruciating experience.
4. I want to work on keeping on schedule.
5. I want to expose them to fun, learning adventures so they discover that school is far from a boring experience.
6. I want to find new friendships so they do not get lonely in the schooling experience.
7. I want to remember to take time for me so I don't get burned-out.
8. I want to keep up on this blog on a regular basis to both keep in touch with family and friends AND be able to easily put together a portfolio when we reach the end.
9. I want to be a good steward of our monetary resources--using the curriculum I have purchased and not being wasteful in spending "for the sake of school."
10. I want to show more appreciation to my husband who supports our efforts.

Working Together

Although we haven't officially started school, we are working on some
projects and doing a lot of reading (thanks, Granny, for the great
books you sent!)

Today, Moon Boy and Silly Girl worked together to build a 'gumball
machine.' They did a great job working together.
