New Material
Today we started some new material with H. We have the Learn Every Day Reading and Writing book and Preschool Ultimate Skill Builder book, both published by Learning Horizons. The Reading and Writing book is the same one that we did over the spring and summer with K. However, she only got about halfway through before we jumped into Calvert. I will do the same thing with H: I will let her continue doing pages from these books until I feel that she is ready to start something a little more formal. I can already tell she is not the lover of workbooks like her sister is. We did one page, front and back, before she was ready to be done. K used to do two or three pages, front and back, and then still ask for more! But that is the big difference between their individual learning styles.
Here's H's page. I held her hand to help her trace and draw the A's:
 K did the P page in her Letters and Sounds book today, completed a reading page, practiced her handwriting, and worked on some memorization. She was very focused today and able to work quickly without any hassles. It only took us about an hour to get through our lesson, and we covered 2-1/2 reading lessons. Now she is making a Diego animal science book with some pages she printed from the internet. I really can't complain about all the ink and paper when she's learning about emperor penguins and three-toed sloths, can I?
Here are the P page and two pages from the animal science book:
 
Apparently my scanner likes to distort crayon. The macaw's head and tail were red and the anaconda was a light green.
