Things are moving along well!
|
Well we started school quite a bit earlier
than most. we started towards the first of july to the middle of
july but we've had quite a few breaks. We are really into school full
force now and Jules is REALLY beginning to enjoy it. We are
almost done of her alphabet book, as well as her pre-k math book.
After those are done, we will move on to the phonics program and the
singapore math workbooks/ mathusee program. I have seen a LOT of
progression on Julianna's part. She was really having a hard time
counting. It frustrated me and her alot. We finally got her
to be able to count to 5 without making any mistakes and she is able to
recognize 1-5 as well. Now we are working on counting to 10 as
she always gets stumped at 6. (she usually says 8) But today I
saw her progress again and we were counting fast as we could and she
automatically went straight to 6 after five instead of her usual eight
so I KNOW something is sticking in that cute little head of hers.
It's nice to know that no matter how frustrated we can get, if we keep
patiently working at it, we can get it right eventually. That's
very encouraging. Well, what else is new... we thought we may have had a chicken pox break out at our house but so far, Toby only has a couple of dots so I'm thinking it's probably not the chicken pox. We've had quite a few bumps and bruises over the last couple weeks, Last week Toby had his face all scratched up and bruised. this week it's Jules, she cut and scraped her lip on sunday and then today her baby brother smacked her right across the bridge of her nose with a toy car and cut it. She looks quite beat up but what can ya do.... Toby is quite the little monster lately but he is also starting to talk a LOT more which is great! So my assignment for him is to learn new words and he does well with that every day! LOL He's a very silly little boy and i"m so enjoying him! Oh, I have decided to stop babysitting the little girl I look after... I feel that my kids weren't getting the attention they needed and I think if I'm going to succeed in being able to homeschool my kids, then I need to be able to focus on that. I wasn't able to do that with her around. She was too close in age with Toby (7 months older) and they got into trouble together sooo much.. actually they don't really get along that great so they are constantly fighting. Soooo.. I have her all this week and a couple days next week and then I'm done. and I'm ready! Ready to have the freedom to do whatever I want to do! can't wait!! I hated trying to juggle doctor's appointments and shopping days around her schedule. anyway... i best start cleaning.. i think Jeff is coming home for the supper hour early.. I want to make some supper for him. |
