October update

So.... even though school was going well I had a big blessing and my parents got me Sonlight's Core P4/5 which we actually started today. Noah was doing well with Core K, but it had been pushing it a little and I needed to slow down a little for him. He and Kayla both enjoyed school today and it was easy :) It is funny since we have been reading a lot of material to go backwards. After reading science they asked, "Is that all?" That is a lot better than are we done yet! So here is a summary of where we are so far

LA: We are doing readers 1. We are repeating I Can Read It book 2. He was struggling a little with book 3 so instead of getting frustrated I thought we should strengthen where he is at in book 2 and just redo it. That is nice because I was thinking about throwing in some of LA K, so I will be using that while we reado reader 2. I really didn't know if I wanted to go into LA 2 regular so quick, so doing LA k and 1 gives me a little more time before we have to advance. We made an F page today and Kayla and Noah are both able to participate. We drew different things starting with the letter F. Kayla also learned how to write her name. It is a little rough, but hey, she is only 3 :)

Math: We are doing the word problems for Lesson 1 and 2 and then will move on to Lesson 3 for Math-U-See in their Foundations of Math program. He is liking this program a lot more than Horizons so I am happy.

Science: We started Sonlight's Sci K and there is also one that came with P4/5 so we have plenty of science to go around. The Berenstain's bear big book of science is a huge hit here. Kayla had me read about 50 pages the day we got it. We are also learning about weather too. The other day Noah pointed out what type of clouds were in the sky. That was so neat (we learned about clouds last week).

History: Well, nothing much lately.

Handwriting: Noah is doing much better here. He was copying his spelling words and had to point out to me that he made a letter better than I had. I don't mind that at all.

Well, I am sure there is more, but it is nap time and I must lay the kiddos down. :)
