Are We There Yet?....A Homeschooling Journey

Aug. 23, 2007

Quote of the day "Can we keep doing this? It is fun."

I almost fell out of my chair.  Thank the Lord for Easy Grammar.  We are still in the beginning phase and memorizing the prepositions.  Today was bingo day.  Yes, that is in the book.  I put each of the prep into a cup and had my son draw them out.  He had to make a prepositional phrase out of each one, and I had to make a full sentence.  I had planned on stopping when we reached one bingo.

 

  He decided he wanted to continue until we had done them all.  Then he said, (please reference title quote here).  My heart was doing a little dance.  He had no idea that he was learning so much while having fun.  His reward was 15 extra minutes of break. 

 

Of course, he's fussing about doing math, but it's a journey right?

Our kids like EG too. What a blessing!
We're doing the 2/3 and 2nd book, but look forward to the one you are doing. Glad it's working well for you.

What a great idea for prepositions. Why can't I think of these.....?? Well, I'm on my third kid now, I think I'll try this one. The other ones didn't really care for the lists to memorize. This should enliven it somewhat.
thanks.
