A New School Year!
Here we go again. Another year of school.
Belle will be learning about ancient Egypt and hopefully learning all 50 states. Her favorites are still science, but History may be a new love. She has surprised me by asking to do English of all things. I reluctantly purchased a Bob Jones curriculum, but I love it so far.
Belle's struggles are still writing and spelling, but we hope to overcome those this year. Belle enjoys school when there is a project involved. She does not understand however why she should know her addition facts and even asked me why she needed to know how to spell. Sorry hun, I try to make it fun, but sometimes Math and Spelling are just what they are.
Here are our curriculum choices for this year.
2nd grade
- Bob Jones English 2
- Math U See Beta
- All About Spelling 2
- Story of the World 1
- Magic Schoolbus Science and Mr. Q Labs Earth Science
- Literature lapbooks
- Handwriting Without Tears
- All About Reading 2 (last minute addition, to firm up phonic skills)
Ethan hopes to learn how to read like a "big boy" this year. He is doing great with sounding out basic CVC words. His struggles will certainly be his attention span. He's always been a kid on the go.
Pre K
- Math U See Primer
- All About Reading 1
- Handwriting Without Tears
Friends
We are pretty blessed to have some awesome friends in our life, and so are my kids.
And what do best friends do? Teach you how to blow bubbles with your gum.
But don't worry, Belle and Ethan are still each others first best friend.
