We did it! We completed an entire month of home school and nobody is dead!!! Seriously, it has been great! We haven't had many "off" days and we are actually having a lot of fun
I just finished assessing Emma for math. It is nice to know where she is so I can concentrate on what she needs. We are almost finished reading Island of the Blue Dolphins, which Emma loves. She really loves anything dramatic. We have acquired several educational games. We love Boggle, Yahtzee, the scrambled states of America, and the castle puzzle game just to name a few. We checked out a melody harp and both girls are having a blast playing it. We just finished a unit study on Fort Humboldt and made a great poster with pictures, sun prints, and sketches. We also completed a geology unit study and can now boast a fabulous rock collection. Emma is also making wonderful progress with her violin.
Rachael is now reading short words. She continues to astound me with her fine motor skills. She cuts and colors as well as any crafter. She loves making music (although she assures me she is not interested in the violin). We also play preschool games and make lots of nature collections from our walks.
All in all I am very pleased with our work. We are starting to fit into a rhythm. I would never say schedule because it is just not us.
I just remembered that I am teaching Relief Society on Sunday and the teaching schedule got switched so I had better hustle.
