Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation;

on thee do I wait all the day.

--Psalm 25:5

Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What Summer School did we do today. Josh & Annette did a page of Daily Grams, a page from their Language Lesson for the Elementry Child. Josh, practiced his multiplication using Math-It and Times Tables the Fun Way! Math-It is great but sometimes we need the stories from Times Tables help, so by using a combo of Math-it & Times Table the Fun Way is working out great for Josh (& me)

 

Annette did two pages of her Singapore Word Problems book. She was figuring out the problems quicker than I. I was trying to keep one step ahead of her. We were sitting together. She almost got all the answers right the first time doing it all in her cute head. I had to use a pencil & paper. The only thing she had a problem with was writing out the problem. She could do it all in her mind but couldn't figure out how to put it on paper. Add, then subtract and add again type problems. Annette said that Math-It has helped her do her problems faster. Today she practiced her addit game & I introduced her to the Dubbit game. She really enjoys them. At first she would get frustrated but she doing better now ;)

 

Caleb & Brent did their schooling online today using Big Math Time & Lets Go Learn. I was supposed to have them do "The Reading Lesson" today but forgot . Maybe later.

 

I need to take the time to start Pre Math-it with Ethan. He is so ready to learn. Today he was making a fort with the Domino Bears and he said "They need reinforcements" I didn't even know he new that word, much less how to use it in a sentence. He surprises us a lot with his vocabulary. This week he is practicing the "c" sound. He colored a big cookie and I hung it up in the hallway. When we pass it I'll ask him what sound does this make?

 

In Him,

Linda<><

I'm Linda, a child of God, wife to my best friend Lupe and mom to Joshua 98, Annette 99, Caleb 00, Brent 01, Ethan 03 & Lance 04. We have been homeschooling since 2002. We homeschool because we believe that this is what God wants us to do right now. I love being with my children, most of the time=) I have to admit that there are days when I ask God "Why am I doing this?" and he gently reminds me that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me and deep down inside my heart I know why I am homeschooling ;)
