Together work:
- Bible study - We have continued reading about the days after Jesus' resurrection and wrapped up today with Acts 1, where the Holy Spirit came upon the believers in tongues of fire. (Can you imagine how you would feel to see a tongue of fire on top of each person's head?)

I so know how you feel about dragging...it's the case at our house too. It still looks like your week was pretty productive none-the-less :).
Sounds like a good week, Chantelle. I know what you mean about dragging! I'm ready for a bit if a break! I've been considering IEW for my almost 8 year old for next year. When did you start using it?
Amy, I used IEW's SWI-A for my oldest our first year homeschooling - he was 5th. Since we were going to be doing it anyway I bought the book for my then 2nd grader with the intentions of just seeing how much he could do planning that I would let him drop when it got too hard. He did really well! He was, of course, motivated by having an older brother. I think SWI-A is a very gentle approach and you can slow it down and practice the lessons over and over until you have the hang of them before moving on the next ones. I did help him do the physical writing some (ie I would write what he said). This year he is doing Fables, Myths and Fairy Tales and doing very well with it!
