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 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 [...]
Today he decided to do more words. I cannot stop this kid! He is loving learning on his little chalkboard easel. We did a number of words. He also remembered that some words have a long A sound because they end in E. The two words he did today for that were cake and cage. [...]

We finally did day 4 of creation today. It has been forever since we did any part of it, other than reviewing what we learned. He has those days down really good. Now we will move on through the last 3 days of creation and try to keep on track. Of course, I won’t panic [...]
We have been doing a lot of workbook activities of late. He has been really excelling at getting things done. He is the initiator and begs to do his books nearly daily. We have worked on his penmanship, spelling, letter recognition, reading, simple math, and artsy things. We made insects out of pipe cleaners. He [...]
