Girls aren't supposed to like math. Mine probably wouldn't - except we're using Math-U-See. We finished school already and have been on break for almost two months now. I planned to start the first of June, but we've been so swamped (Sauerkraut Survivor anyone?). I should be freed up enough to really begin first week of July. Meanwhile, we had all our school books and as soon as math came, my daughter hounded me to begin. I figured it wouldn't hurt to let her start math, so I relented. I couldn't blame her - this year was fractions!

I am happy to be proven wrong :) Not that I blame him - she is very engaging! I actually find myself sitting down and watching the class as well, and often drawing right along with the kids.
