School Report!

So, here's a brief update on our homeschooling!

Our homeschool co-op started up so Bella and I are both enjoying our Friday mornings with other homeschool families. I especially enjoy a discussion group I attend with other moms, and Bella loves her PreK classes.

We are plowing through Saxon Math K, and right now we are right on track, maybe even a little ahead. Some lessons I skip because it covers a concept that I know she already understands. And some days we don't move on, because she needs to review a previous lesson- for example, we spent a couple extra days on ordinal numbers, because she had trouble with it....instead of first, second, third, fourth, she wanted to say "first, two-th, three-th, fourth..." Which was cute and a little bit funny. She finally got the hang of it. And just to be sure, today at lunch we practiced ordinal numbers as I handed her crackers! She's even worked her way up to "fifth"!

In phonics, we are on the third (and final!) primer workbook. Bella loves her workbook and usually wants to do several pages at a sitting. I am also trying to read to her as much as possible and we go to the library every couple of weeks for fresh books to try.

We are also continuing our Bible Story Lessons and memory verses. This month we are also talking about "Obedience" and memorizing 2 Corinthians 10:5 "...bringing into captivity every thought in obedience to Christ."

Overall, I think we are doing very well. Areas I would like to improve on in the future are: more arts and craft activities, even more reading, and more games and activities.
