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 [...]
Today we learned practiced reading a bit, did some phonics, and learned more about the new President. I used the biography at enchanted learning, as well as the coloring page of the President’s face with the small bio. On Tuesday we chatted about the significance of this president a bit more. He understands why it’s [...]

We continued our practice of regrouping and carrying numbers on http://www.dositey.com this afternoon. We also worked on phonics, since it seems that he is still getting mightily confused on his D/B and long/short vowels. It’s tiring, but worth it.
OMG The last week has been a disaster for listening skills. I have been trying really hard not to get angry with him. REALLY!!! It’s like he wants to do school but then he doesn’t want to do what the instructions say he should. I’m like UM OK … >_< let’s try again. We aren’t [...]
Yesterday, we took a trek over to our favorite Bible shop and bought a few things. We got my son a bookmark with Bob the Tomato from Veggie Tales. It says “God made you special and he loves you very much”. We also bought him the Hands-On Bible NLT and VeggieTales – Moe & The [...]
