WOW My son saw the movie and began to voraciously devour the books themselves. He read the first book in five days, the second book in two and a half days, and today he began the third book and is only half an inch from finishing it. Thank God for the library and me getting [...]
We are still doing the Bible study line by line of Psalm 23. We are up to "He leads me beside the still waters". My son is already asking what "still waters" means as he writes the sentence. We get in grammar, reading, spelling, punctuation, and writing practice at the same time we do Bible [...]
We are planning to do a full summer of science. As part of this, I want to include at least 3 trips. One of those will be taken care of by the Y Summer Camp, but the other 2 will be on us. I was looking at DaVinci Center. It’s cheap, close, and has exactly [...]
Today we learned practiced reading a bit, did some phonics, and learned more about the new President.

He understands why it’s [...]

Today he finally got the hang of the knit stitch. I found a way for him to do continental style that matches the way his brain works. He did a full row of 8 stitches by himself, 7 of which were flawless. He is looking forward to doing more another day. This video helped him, [...]
Today we were reading the first 9 pages of Trouble at the Bridge and I realized what a hard time he was having with common endings and letter groups in the middle of words. Since I taught him phonics and not sight words, it is a bit more difficult for him to understand the whole [...]
Today we started a unit study called Birds. We did the general anatomy of birds. I had him draw a bird, then we labeled the parts. He had to figure out from sounding out the words how they were spelled. Then, he told me some parts that we didn’t write out *stuck to four letter [...]
I checked out the standards for K-2 grades in New Jersey on the education website yesterday. I was surprised to find out how advanced my son really is compared to their standards. Technically, he really is in early 2nd grade. I had a feeling he was, but never checked till then. The only things we [...]
