Our first week of school went well over all.  It's taken a bit to get back into a schedule again.  We had 6 weeks or so off after baby girl was born this summer.

Our first week we started with just grammar, spelling and math.

For math we were still working in the Math U See Primer book.     And worked on the lessons on calculating area by skip counting.  DD1 does the 2 and 10's very well but has a little trouble with 5's.

In spelling we are using Spelling Workout and have been working on hearing beginning and ending sounds.  DD1 already finished her phonics program last year so she's picking up on this pretty easy.

In grammar we have been using First Language Lessons.  The first few lessons are on learning what a noun is and memorizing the poem the Caterpillar.  DD picked up the poem very quickly and loves reciting it to everyone!

This is DD1 drawing of a caterpillar from her poem.
