This is a homeschool blog site so I might as well tell you what Kristian and I are doing with homeschool.  We've returned to using Five in a Row this year.  It is a literature based unit study.  We are taking one great children's book and studying one book per week.  We also do Shiller Math, copywork for handwriting and Kristian is reading the Christian Liberty Press Reader about different animals for reading.  He has just read, on his own,  a children's version of Treasure Island too.  After Five in a Row  we have been studying Apologia Science's elementary astronomy book.

This week with our Five in a Row we have been reading Mr. Gumpy's Motor Car.  Our vocabulary word for today was convertible (the motor car is a convertible) and we are going to try to use the word convert in our conversation this week.  I got a signed copy of this book from E-Bay for under $10.00, including the shipping.  That was fun. 

Today Kristian also helped me write a speech about why we should not look directly at the Sun.  I wrote some key words down on a note card and had him give the speech and he did quite well.
