Learning together

A big smile

We had one of those wonderful moments this week when LJ realised that he can read!  He's quite a good reader and has been reading whole books at his level for over a year, but I guess he just didn't realise that he could read anything, not just a book I put in his hand!

He had gone into the classroom, picked up a book called 'Signs of summer' from the library and then read it right through with no help.  He was thrilled to bits and so was I!  Way to go LJ!

Then we had another big smile when PJ managed to complete an entire letter/picture puzzle based on knowledge of beginning sounds.  He only got stuck on 'giraffe' which was hard, as we'd always said 'guh' for g, but figured it out when it was the last one left!

I guess that proves my boys are definitely learning something!  :-)

Yea for reading! That is one of the best parts of homeschooling, when something just clicks like that and you all realize that they have learned something.
(Hmmm, it seems like everytime I read your blog I tell you that is one of the best parts of homeschooling. lol. I must like homeschooling.)
For the vinegar, I just use plain vinegar and sometimes apple cider vinegar--depending on what I have in the house. This week I will tell about the joys of cornstarch. : )

Was out with friends yesterday and one Mum said almost the same thing about her daughter! She's been reading "reading scheme" books for a while, but didn't realise that she could read anything if she tried!
I love it when they get that "light bulb" moment!
