The First Day of School 2014

It's a new school year and lessons have begun.
The little boys have more focused time with the Mama and Ava and Autumn. Autumn is teaching them HiStory and Ava is doing review (aka: finishing what I start).
Josiah is 4 1/2 and doing pre-k-4 work. He's getting pretty good at writing his name.
 Jacob is 5 and will be 6 next month. He's taking another try at Kindergarten. He just wasn't "getting it" last year. Try! Try Again!
The little girls sure are getting big!









Jorja just turned 8 last week! Our baby girl is EIGHT! That certainly went by FAST!
She's progressing and doing very well in reading - which is also her favorite subject. So, I'm challenging her to read harder books this year.
Lora is 9. She's the only one who wore new clothes today. She does really well in math. So, she's also being challenged to read more and better this year.

Meet Brent! He's just a little younger than Alex. So, he's doing the same work as the big boys. He has to work really hard to complete his work. He's still very quiet and unsure about us and his new lessons. But I think he'll settle in. (He has a lovely smile - just not for pictures).
Alex is 12. He was very excited to begin school lessons again today. Especially Spanish - it's on the computer. When he finished all his work he begged to do more because, "That was fun!"
Elijah is 12 and will soon be 13. Can't believe we are gaining another teenager! He reads very well and he really stuck with it today and finished all his work - even helped others and lead the big boys Science time.
Autumn will be 15 next week. We'll have two fifteen year olds. Two wanting to drive us everywhere. Two making us catch our breath.
Autumn is working hard and just beginning high school. 
Ava is leading the way - through lessons and in height. She just keeps growing. I was able to straighten up
and be the same height as her but now in as straight as I can get I'm still looking up to her. She's a sophomore this year.

And here's the whole Brown Home Academy crew
