We finished school on May 15th!! The kids were so excited to be done and I'm happy to report they completed all the work I wanted them to complete! Yay! Reading was still a struggle w/ James, though. The timer worked, but there was still a battle almost daily, especially w/ sight words. We were using Reading Made Easy, which worked well for Levi, but it was difficult at times. I decided to go a completely different route this year and went with all A Beka. I bought Grade kits 1 & 2. I didn't buy K or the teacher kits. I started the boys on their readers already and expected a fight w/ James as usual, but he LOVES it!! I'm so happy about that. They started about 3 weeks ago. Levi completed his first reader & James is almost done his first reader. He's now reading things like: My name is Mike. I like the cats and dogs God made. I like the hens and ducks and geese He made. But I like the pigs the best. My pet pig is fat and sleek. He likes to lie in the mud. He will not get stuck in the mud. He just has fun in it. He likes to play and play. I like that he can do that w/ no fighting! YAY!! We both now look forward to reading time rather than the battle. We'll officially start school the second week of August or possibly the first week. We'll have the third week off because of family, but I want to start early so we can take a break when the baby is born in Oct. I've already logged the entire school year! Yay! I feel very prepared and am excited to start. |
