Catching Up...

Catching up...

it's the story of my life!

We started our Sonlight program on Sept. 6th.

We are enjoying the program, mostly.  I haven't had the funds to get some of the books, so we are adjusting the curriculum to that fact.

I do like the history, so do the kids. They like the readers and read-a-louds. We are doing Winston Grammar, simple yet complete.  We are doing Math-U-See, and we like it overall. We are just doing a lot of review on math, making sure we master math and not just keep going on. We are almost done with our first book! I think we'll get through at least 2 more levels this year.

The kids are doing a lot of writing with Sonlight as well. I like their L. Arts program, overall. We are doing dictation on Mondays, and writing every other day. Sometimes, I have them copy poems to get some handwriting practice.

My overall review of Sonlight - it's important to have all the books, otherwise it's difficult to follow.  I'm still waiting for some of our science books to come in.

I'll admit, I am missing Ambleside a little bit. We'll see... but we are doing this Sonlight till we're done!

We went on a field trip last Tuesday with our group to Gilcrease Orchard. We picked veggies and walked in the rain and thunder! It was a beautiful day in the desert.

I have no idea who this little girl is... she wasn't with our group. But I loved her hat!
