The adventure begins...

Starfall.com

I found this website, Starfall.  It is a reading program that is free.  Jonathan is enjoying it.  He was reading and even enjoying it.  I think it is a nice change from our regular reading program.  I am trying different things for him to read and see which he enjoys most.  I know he don't like sitting and reading for a long time so we haven't been doing the stories in the "...100 ez lessons" book.  We will go back to them later I guess.  I have been printing the words out on paper and he don't mind reading them that way.  I have put some on the fridge with magnet letters and when he sees them we sound them out and make sentences with the words.  I think he likes that too.  Anything to keep him interested and still learn. 

We are coming to the end of our Math U See Primer book.  We are learning to tell time.  He likes that.  He has been interested in time for a while and so he likes doing these pages and we also look at it on the clock and on a wooden play clock that he has. 

I haven't decided if I really want to take the whole summer off or what.  I really don't want to but don't know if I should continue on with the next book in MUS or just review for a while.  I will have to think on this.  I believe we will continue phonics and reading in a relaxed manner.  I don't want him to forget anything and there is so much to learn.

I am still thinking about using the Heart of Dakota curriculum for next year.  I like that it is biblical based and all planned out for me.  I wish I knew of others to look into but haven't found anything I like yet.  Any ideas?

Apr. 3, 2008 - Starfall Calendar

Posted by jennybell68
My son loves the make a calendar feature on Starfall. Every month since December he has gone online to make his own calendar page. I print it out and tape it up somewhere. He is always "consulting" his calendar and I really think it has helped him with his sense of days, months, season, etc.
