Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

It was fun. The CD is just gorgeous and I was struck by how truly beautiful illustrations and words and music fed my own soul.

How was your first day of school??

We started last week. The boys are having so much fun. I almost don't feel like we're "schooling" with this program.

So what is everyone using to keep track of all of the random papers that the kids are generating? I'm not sure if I should use a milk crate with hanging file folders, or a notebook with tabbed sections. And then if I use a notebook, do I use page protectors on the pages? Aargh! Can you tell I've never done this before?

It kind of confuses me to have several different notebooks, so I bought big binders for each girl and everything (we aren't doing the American history) except our Nature Study stuff is going in that. I just decided yesterday to use page protectors. When you punch holes in their artwork and copywork, it often ends up looking rather munched after a few months.

Having said that, the idea of a poetry notebook, a composer/music notebook, a history notebook, etc, sounds lovely...especially once I saw how neat the main lesson notebooks look on the Waldorf sites! I just fear we will get overwhelmed and have all of 2 things in 6 different notebooks...

I got very big leahter bound sketch books on sale cheap...they have like 150 pages in them. The younger group in my house is sung one as a main lesson book and putting everything in it...I bought stick on divider tabs and divided the 150 page book into 5 30 page sections...alphabet path/poetry/music/art/history...my older student has three main lesson books...one for language arts, one for literature, and one for history.

I'm dropping them in a hanging file folder. I/they just don't keep up with putting stuff in binders.

We started Alphabet path a few days ago too, and it was GREAT!
