So we're 11 weeks into our new school year. Things are going pretty well. However, seeing the boys just "getting by" with our current math program, I made the decision to switch to Teaching Textbooks. We've used it before and the boys did very well with it. I switched to Saxon this year, though, because it was cheaper and really is a good program. The explanations are just difficult for the boys to really understand well. I purchased the new programs this morning. Now we're just waiting for them to come in. The boys have done some sample lessons on the website, and they are very excited to get their new math.
I'll leave you with these pictures.

Hmm. I wonder why they're excited? lol

I think my kids' favorite thing about TT is the buddy sounds. Amusingly, I was talking to friends at church who homeschool and it turns out they, too, use TT and their daughter (11) loves the buddies, too. If it takes a little cartoon cheering them on to make them love math, so be it!
Jared & Justin love the cartoon buddies. They're constantly switching them out. Jack could do with or without them. He just likes using the computer. lol He tells me every single time when he's finished with a lesson, "See, Mom. I told you I do better with Teaching Textbooks."
