Yay! We ordered on Friday and my box of goodies came yesterday! We are so excited to start 2nd grade! I couldn't get the pictures to upload, so I posted at my other blog here.
Love,

Long time no blog!
Hi everyone!
It's been awhile  . I hope you all are having a great school year! As I've said before, we started Kindy at an odd time of the year. With some breaks in there, we are finishing up tomorrow! We are all so excited here! As soon as we get our tax refund back, we are ordering first grade curriculum from My Father's World. We will be starting as soon as it arrives. Yay! I am so proud of my Vinny-pooh  . He has done so well with this curriculum and he is especially doing so well in reading.
Time to go get dinner ready!
Love,
Lisa |

A Study on the Lord's Prayer...seeking good websites
Starting Monday, I would like to start going over the Lord's Prayer with my 5 year old son. He has it memorized, but I want him to understand what he's really praying about when he says the words. I found this website so far, but I am wondering if any of you out there have any favorite references for this? I would appreciate any suggestions!

Exciting times
I know that I already blogged about it, but after today I have to do it again. It is so exciting to see how much easier and easier it is getting for Vincent to read words, even words he has not seen before. It is also so cool how well he is doing in math. I got him a 1st grade math workbook (he already flew through the K stuff) from Sam's, and he is just flying through that stuff. He has a hard time sometimes with the number words, as with the phonics we are doing, he is just having to visually memorize those right now. But even those, he is getting good at. Vincent even did his first crossword puzzle today! LOL. His grandma is always doing them, and he is finally seeing what all the fuss is about.
Meanwhile, dh and I are getting ready to order the next set of curriculum from My Father's World. I just love looking through their website. For now, I plan on using at least through 6th or 7th grade, but of course, I (or more like Vincent) may change, so we'll see. We can always supplement as well. I just really like their packages and curriculum! So far, it has been fun, and well, it's working! LOL. I guess I just like the style of how it's presented and taught, and the material itself is top notch. Yes, I know it's kind of a weird time of year, but Vincent will be finished with K around the end of October (we did start at an odd time, but it's also only 26 weeks) and then we will get him right into first grade. I'm not sure how long the 1st grade curriculum is, but I'm guessing we will be starting 2nd grade at the beginning of the next "normal" school year LOL.

Back to school???
Not really...I may have taken a blogging break, but we have been chugging along at school the entire time. By the end of October, we will be finished with kindergarten (which Vincent would have just been starting today) and moving right into first grade.
The big thing is, reading is coming along GREAT. Vincent is reading very short stories from his curriculum right now and it is so exciting! I taught him how to do it! Isn't that a wonderful feeling? Now, I know if I can teach, anyone can! Vincent is also doing really well in math...he finished up the kindergarten workbook I had got him, so we got him a first grade workbook, and he is just sailing along in that. I love this! We are both having so much fun  . I'm still just reeling from the fact that I TAUGHT MY CHILD HOW TO READ. LOL. I know so many of you out there know what I'm feeling. It just gives me so much encouragement to keep on with this because I have seen that I can do it!
Heehee, time to get of the high horse LOL.
