Back in the saddle again
So last week got eaten up by moving and
unpacking and mommy can't function on chaos. This week, mommy has
moved all of the chaos into the bedroom, out of sight, so we're back in
the saddle again. Except we haven't done Language Arts or Science
this week. But that's ok because William can completely handle
doing a weeks worth of Sonlight Science in one sitting. He loves
it! And Language Arts K we've been doing 1 week's worth every
day, so we're kind of ahead on that one. The important thing is
we're marching through math and the Core and his reading.
We finished Earlybird 1B yesterday (THANK YOU!), which was such a
relief to me because I hadn't done ANY math with him when I ordered and
I didn't want him to miss anything and we were both horribly bored with
1A and 1B. But I spent the money, so we WILL write on all of the
pages. So there! Of course 2A is not significantly harder,
but we should finish it in 3 or 4 weeks time, then 2B in the same time
frame then we can get into the good stuff. (Hopefully.) We're
also doing Horizons Math K and MCP Math (K I think?) so he's getting
other more challenging math. Oh and Saxon K which is such
fluff. But once again, I spent the money, so... And Miquon,
which is by far the hardest and by far his favorite. We were
doing grids this week that I can't begin to describe in words and have
no clue how to draw. But he loves them. And I was all
prepared to explain to him how to look for patterns in the numbers, but
before I could open my mouth, he'd already figured it out. He's
really wired that way--the seeing patterns way, that is.
So yeah...that's my update. Now that life is calming down
somewhat, I'm going to try to post more frequently. These moments
are so precious, I want to preserve and share them!
