I've always heard not to start Latin until at least the 3rd grade. I can't remember what grades your boys are in, but we started Latin last year and my 43 year old brain is having a hard time with all the cases, declensions, and conjugations! So if they struggle, don't be too concerned.<br><br>We start on Monday, and although I'm excited (and all but one of them are excited,) I'm kind of dreading that first week. It's tough to get all our brains reacclimated to the school schedule and I'll be glad when week one is done!Marshahttp://www.onefullquiver.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098657041190344161.post-73872301618669867312010-08-13T19:38:55.000-04:002010-08-13T19:38:55.000-04:00"I think just giving him an ear did magic in ..."I think just giving him an ear did magic in his brain."

We don't always have those perfect days, but that certainly doesn't mean that learning isn't still taking place. Some of our best fruit came from the midst of our struggles. What a wise woman to take the time to talk to your son and hear things from his point of view. <br><br>Blessings to you!

Sounds like a pretty good week. The kids will get into school routine and things will go more smoothly. Thanks for sharing your week even though it wasn't perfect. Sometimes I think we need to share the not so good times as well as the great time.missmoehttp://missmoe-thesearethedaysofmylife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
