My husband wanted me to check on some curriculum for our almost 4yo daughter.  She does really well with writing letters and recognizing certain names and she seems interested.  I checked on some curriculum from the Kindergarten of ACE.  It was a little more than I am willing to pay to homeschool a 4 year old.  She really isn't of age yet, so I don't want to pour hundreds of dollars into this.

We already had the ABC's with ACE & Christi Instruction manuals.  All I'd have to purchase is the record keeping and PACEs.  No problemo.  Let's see how she does on the Reading Readiness test.

Now, I will say to you that it was VERRRRY hard not to coach her along on it, but I did not.  She did very well through most of it and when she would miss one, I would be kinda bummed and think "She's not ready at all".  Much to my amazement, she passed with flying colors.  You have to get an 80% or higher to be considered "ready to read".  She got a 90.4.  I was shocked.

So, I will be ordering the reading program which right now is all 12 Word Building PACEs and the first three of the Math PACEs.  When she completes the 12-week program, she will then be doing the rest of the PACEs including Social Studies, Science, Math, & English.

Abby is on her 2nd quarter of 2nd grade.  We do things a little unorthodox around here.  She has taken a 2 month break (about, almost, something like that) for summer and because I wasn't on the ball about ordering more books for her.  We decided to just order a quarter's worth of books and then get more when she finishes the 9 weeks.

She's up for her next 9 weeks and Phoebe is maybe signing on for 12 weeks.  That'll take us right on up to Thanksgiving and we'll be headed to Casper, hopefully, to visit family.

I can't wait to homeschool TWO kids.  I'm scared and excited all at the same time!!

And, all this with an almost walking little boy.  I'm so blessed to have my hands so full!! Thank you LORD!!
