blogging

Tomorrow is December 1st... I've been so busy it's slipped my mind to update this blog. I am hoping to keep it updated regularly for the next few months.
The kids have been doing so many things academically, and it's actually going well to have a semi regular schedule.

F and I are still reading My side of the Mountain as well as a variety of books, J and I are reading The Magic tree house book 1, and she is reading everything, labels, tags, signs etc. Egypt is a favorite subject for her, she really likes the picture writing and decided to draw pictures today and use picture writing to express what she wanted to say in them. Then she made the whole alphabet using her own form of pictures to represent letters. I am enjoying watching her be creative in so many ways.

The microscope is also getting good use, mold, dust, hair, snail poop are all getting explored, it is amazing what things look like magnified 40 times. J has a new found interest in science which I am happy about. A is excited about learning to read and even F has been writing more and being silly with his writing, his spelling is improving a lot this semester too.
