Ok, at this point I am jumping for joy!!!!My little boy is reading!!! We have been working hard on doing phonics worksheets and getting a good grasp on what letter makes what sound, etc, then last week we started working on the little phonics tiles that come in a bucket, and we would try spelling out simple words such as cat, ran, jump, etc. So today we went to starfall.com which I absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone out there, and he did two activities and then read an entire beginning reader on there, all by himself!!! He actually read his first book all by himself!!! YAY DYLAN!!! He is now completing two worksheets that we printed off of the website to go along with the words he learned from the book, etc. and he is doing them now. School is going well. He is doing math today and also we will be doing a science quiz on weather. He is learning about what weather is and about temperature. That is what the quiz will be about today. Monday we will begin learning about different kinds of weather. We will also be watching a dvd today about the seasons. We learned a little about the seasons a couple of weeks ago, and we just joined this new library and they amazing informational dvd's and we found a neat one on seasons and they also have one on weather, so after we finish learning about weather we will watch the dvd.

This evening we will be watching a dvd on sign language. We are trying to learn basic signs together. So that will be fun. I am just so pleased with homeschooling. I love it and it works well for our family. Yesterdays gospel lesson was on reverence and today we are going to practice feeling and being reverent for 3 minutes while we listen to church music. Conference is this weekend so our primary president is so sweet, she dropped off some little worksheets on conference, etc for the kids to color while we watch conference. Exciting!!! We are also going to be trying to finish working on the house some this weekend. Sooo busy but we have to try and take advantage of the days that Keith has off.

With Love, Jaelle, the mother of a five year old who can read!!!!!!!!
