wow it's been a while
|
Wow September has been a busy month!
There have been many times where I think about blogging and then get
sidetracked! I got a comment on my last entry from Linda asking
some questions so I thought I would answer them. How is school going? School is going great! We finished her Math book and her LA book so I scheduled up some more work. We are now doing The Complete Book of Phonics which I didn't realize but was three grades in one book so we will see how far we get with that this year. We have also started book A in the Get Ready The Code. We are still working on her workbook for HWT too. For Math we have begun some old publications of Singapore Math workbooks that I picked up at a flea market. She is really enjoying them and I've spread them out so that we only do one page a day. Once or Twice a week we do Draw Write Now and Leading Little Ones to God.She is really blossoming alot and I love it. She is doing so well. Today we were doing school and I got distracted for a second and she said Okay mommy i'm gonna wait for you cuz you have to teach me! How is it without babysitting? I am loving being free without having an extra little person (who wasn't mine) around. We get to go out a lot more and Jules got registered three weeks ago for swimming lessons that the local homeschool association was putting on. She is just LOVING that. I'm liking it too cuz my friend Holly put her little girl in and she's in the same class as Jules so we mom's gab for the first 40 minutes and then we get to go into the pool with them for the second half. Are you doing much with Toby or do you do what I do and let him sleep while we school? We used to do school while he napped but now that I don't have to babysit, I find that it's easier to get it all done first thing in the morning so we dont' have to worry about it the rest of the day. Plus we all get quiet time when Toby naps which is a nice break to the day. Jules would talk my ear off all day long if she could! he he. As for doing stuff with Toby, He usually just plays around while we are doing school but sometimes he wants to color so I give him some papers to color on. Usually he likes to sneak his hand over and scribble on Julianna's workbooks but I usually can catch him before he does too much damage. He is pretty fast though. As for doing actual school stuff with him. We sing songs.. he loves having books read to him and we count everytime we go up the stairs. He's pretty good at counting now.. he'll fill in for the numbers 2, 3 ,5, 7,8, 10, and 11 It's very cute! One other thing we do sometimes is put worship music on and dance. He LOVES to dance. His sister teaches him a lot! He ends up being her student cuz of course she's gotta be a teacher to someone. So he learns alot from her. For example, she taught him the correct way to sling a purse around his shoulder today! hehe. She also taught him to stand on the end of the couch and see how far he could jump. I will put an end to that when we get our new couches on friday.. lol for now they were having fun though. Anyway... i smell a pretty stinky boy and I want to get the closet and the playroom cleaned before the kids bedtime sooooo it's off to work I go. |
