Homeschool Update

I have not been very diligent about keeping up our homeschool blog. We have done so many wonderful things for homeschool that I haven't talked about or taken pictures of. I started the homeschool blog so that I would have something to force me to show what we do, but it hasn't worked out that way. We have been doing lap books, water and air experiments, writing, math, reading, park days, dancing, field trips to the zoo and loads of craft projects. My goal is to take pictures of all the things we have done and the things yet to come.


Emily's math has improved quite a bit. She is doing first grade work and doing great! Her reading is still excellent and she is obsessed with Garfield comics and can read those all day! I really like it because the vocabulary is pretty high and she finds new words all the time that she asks me about. Her writing has improved now that I have been having her write a journal entry every school day to keep it up. We are in the process of trying to get into a co-op. We missed the last meeting because of sickness. And January should start dance class up again since she is done with hospital issues.

Lindsey is my little artist. Drawing on the walls and papers and everything. I am so amazed at how naturally this is coming to her. She is just like me. She draws circles and "writes". She is less interested in letters, but knows most of them and loves books. She pretends to read them all the time. She also has a stellar memory! She remembers things that I would never think she would remember.
