Spell to Write and Read


Half-Pint enjoys her spelling and phonogram exercises.
I don't keep up with it as much as I should. We're supposed to complete a 20-word spelling list per week. OOPS. We haven't done that each week. I need to be better at that.
I am very pleased with this program. There is still some confusion on my part with organizing it all, but I am doing my best.

Happy New Year! We're still going strong...


We're still here.

Half-Pint is still plugging away at her studies and I just feel so blessed to be able to be here at home with her and teach her.

We took a long break- 3 weeks- from formal school.  We still read a lot, wrote, and baked together.  It was SO GOOD to take a break, but it's been even better to get back into a routine.

We also had Pa's mother visit us from back East for Christmas.  It was a nice visit and a great chance for the kids to interact with her since they don't get to see her but once a year.

I pray that you all had a wonderful Christmas Season!

Do you have goals for this new year?  Any school goals?

Mine?  READ ALOUD EVEN MORE.  wheew!
