Things are going great with homeschooling. We got Big Boy Child started in the Saxon Math 2 book and it is much more on his level. I have added writing to his daily work as well. The kids are enjoying studying about animals for Science and have learned about elephants, ants, owls, ducks and turtles so far. I've also moved him to his 8th reader for First Grade. Looks like he will be moving into Second Grade readers soon. He is such a smarty pants. HaHa
Sweet Pea is doing well with her preschool work as well. She has improved drastically with her cutting and hand control. I have her doing lots of number work (games) and tracing. She can now recognize numbers 1-8 consistently and can count out items up to ten without error. I'm so proud of her! She hangs right in there with Big Boy! She is always asking for more work!!
Homeschooling with a baby proves challenging but as he gets older he is more able to entertain himself and then we do a bulk of the work while he takes a nap. It is working quite well!
Overall I'm extremely pleased with the way things are working out! I'm hoping to set up a few more playdates during the week so that the kids can play with more children their ages. We've met several families playing football/cheerleading that are also homeschooling families, which is very exciting!! Thanks for reading and HAPPY FALL!!
