Homeschooling The Littles
The job of homeschooling the littles has begun this year. Janney has worked through some the Pathway Reader workbooks in preparation for reading.

Janney has just started reading this past week. I've been using the Reader Rabbit booklets that came with a software called Reader Rabbit's Interactive Reading Journey many years ago. I used these same books to teach Trent, Myles and Rourke to read, and she's really enjoying the thrill of accomplishing reading these simple books. Here's the story for book 4 which she read yesterday

This Is Not Sam
New words this, is, Mat, not
I am Mat. Look at me.
See Mat. See Sam.
Look, Sam!
Look!
This is not Sam. I see Mat.
Look at me!
See Mat. See Sam.
I see Mat.
See Mat.
See Mat. See Sam |
She's also done a little bit of math, and some Hebrew, and learning to colour in the lines and cut paper. I've been trying to get her to learn handwriting too, but I think I'll let her get more familiar with the letter shapes, she has trouble making the letters the way the lessons want her to..
And we went on a field trip to the museum of natural history last week with some friends.

As of yet, Beverly hasn't mastered being teachable and ready to learn -- that is she doesn't always listen and give honor to the person giving instruction and lacks a bit of self control. She will say, "No I don't feel like it," when I ask her to color (learn pencil control) or do a craft that involves cutting and precision. So, we are mostly working on becoming teachable. I am trying hard to remember that she will be 3 - 4 months behind developmentally for each year she spent in the orphanage and parent her with grace and wisdom.
She has enjoyed and stayed focused on math though. So we are keeping up on counting.
