Whew, what a whirlwind year this has been for us all. We welcomed baby Jordan Nicole into our family on Sept. 3rd, started a new school year on the 11th for me and the kids all at the same time, and a million other little things. We are making great progress with homeschooling, far more than I ever expected to make. Melissa is getting ready to start K level math and handwriting when we restart on Monday (12/31) and is doing great with Hooked On Phonics. However, she is not enjoying our Sonlight core very much, so when we restart I'm going to try doing things a bit differently. I had originally chucked our instructor guide for the core because it jumped around ay too much, but now I'm thinking that I'll pick it up and start at the beginning of week 1, and just go straight through from there. We'll see what happens.
When we start, I also intend to supplement using Old Fashioned Education kindergarden program since its totally free. I am always open to trying additional stuff, especially free stuff. LOL I'll let you know ho I like it when we get going with it, I have a feeling that its just what we need to really get into homeschooling. Melissa just isn't the kind of kid who enjoys lots of being read to.
