Isaiah 28: 9-10 “Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little.”

I'm trying to get back to my normal life, now that we're not packing anymore.  Most of what I already packed is staying that way, but hopefully I'm going to slowly go through each box and try to get rid of as much as possible.  There are certain things that I would not have boxed up if I would have known we would not move yet, so I have to find those things. 

I ordered and already recieved our next set of Science curriculum!  I am so excited.  Abby and Abram LOVE their science stuff and we flew through last years stuff.  I couldn't justify reading all those Core C Science books yet again, when I've already read most of them twice.  (I will again when Abram gets older, just not again this year).  Plus, the Science 1 from Sonlight looked Sooooo appetizing!  Hee Hee!  I LOVE TEACHING!!!!!!!!!!!!  Anyway, here's what we just got in the mail from Sonlight.  (They are already devouring the pictures and asking questions!)

Science Supply Kit 1

Science 1 Instuctor's Guide

Pasteur's Fight (a biography)

Usborn's Internet linked First Encyclopedia of Animals

Usborn Starting Point Science Book (including What makes it rain?, What makes a flower grow?, Where does electricity come from?, and What's under the ground?)

Usborn's First Guide to the Universe

Discover and Do Level 1 Science DVD!!!!!!!  (Our first one is about worn out and they snatched this one out of the box and started jumping up and down begging to watch it right then!  How could I say no to that??  If this one's like the other one, they will ask to see it every day.)

Usborn's What Makes You Ill?.

Usborn's Science Activities Vol. 1  (Science projects)

Magic School Bus at Waterworks (really cute!)

Usborn's Why Do People Eat?.

Usborn's What's Inside You?.

Then I couldn't help but get a few extras!  I bought Abby a suppliment Math program from Singapore and some storybooks for Abram:

Singapore Math 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B (Earlybird set, including Pattern Blocks with Mirrors and guide cards and book)

A Robert McCloskey collection (for Abram)

Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales (I couldn't leave Abby out--she loves the storybooks!)

Mike Mulligan and More (for Abram)

This is the first time I have not bought the entire year's Curriculum at once, but we just weren't going to buy stuff we weren't ready for yet!  We were only days away from being done with her Science K stuff, but we are months away from finishing anything else. 

I can't believe we're so ahead when I feel like we're just PLAYING!!  (We're really just ahead in Science, though.  The rest of it, Abby's either in K or PreK material, depending on what subject it is.)  It's going to be pretty funny if someone asks me what grade she's in!  LOL!!!  "Ummm...preK through 1st."  There is just no such thing as grade level when it comes to homeschoolers, is there?! 

So, what would I really say?  I don't know, honestly.  At this point, I might spend time explaining.  But it's kinda like people asking about a broken leg--at first you want to explain it to everyone, and then you get tired of explaining and just say you had and accident on your bike.  So, right now I might be funny and say she's in preK through 1st or PreKfirstagarten! LOL!  But really, I'll probably just try to remember whatever grade her age group is in and say that...at least when I get over the thrill of saying Prekfirstagarten.  But, maybe I'll never get tired of saying that!  But I do keep her back with her agegroup in Sunday school, though.  I don't want her thinking she's better or smarter than everyone.  I don't want her to be some egotistical brat, if you know what I mean.  But, I'm so proud of her.  (And, whisper whisper, the Fletcher/Fenter/Dyson children are smarter than the status quo!)
