As you can see, it's a mixture. We are also starting our day by saying the Pledge of Allegiance, reading our Family Values and Mission Statement, singing and learning the history and words of a hymn, reading from the 365 Manners book and reading our scriptures. I feel truly blessed to be able to homeschool my two boys. It makes the days interesting and fun!
