Learning Phonics

We have been pretty busy lately with various family/health issues but we still manage to find time for our schooling! I am so blessed that I don't have to spend any time in prep work or reading lesson plans or I am afraid we would be very behind! Even during my busiest days we can sit down together at the computer log into our Time4Learning page and knock out an hour of "school". The kids think it's so fun

.

The past several days we have been focusing on phonics . My daughter "J" can actually already read (she is only 4) but I like the review for her and my son (also 4) is learning along with her. Today we were working on blending sounds....ex. "ch, sh, er, ir, ur". We are currently working in the 1st grade level for language arts.

Another favorite subject of my kids is science.
This month so far we have learning about the earth, moon, sun, weather, seasons, and magnets!

I like to then go to the library and check out books on the same science lessons and expore the concepts further. The kids really get into it and they remember what they have learned from our science lessons!
