It's been a long day

We got a piano today!!! Precious loves it. Tre' tapped a little but, no where near as much as she did. I have been having problems with my online classes. The stuff in one of them does not load right so I can't access my work. Yeah, I want to do my homework!! Also today Preston got some more of his school books in. He was excited! I decided to do the "Teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons " with him. So far he loves it. We are on day three...Because of his minor pronunciation issues, I have decided to also use Abeka along side that for him.

So curriculum this year for Preston "PJ" is:
Teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons
Abeka phonics complete
Abeka numbers complete
Apologia Science - Zoology 3 land animals of the sixth day
Mystery of history
I kind of came up with my own health curriculum for him
as always we will utilize our local library for reading.

This week's selection is actually one that we have on inter library loan. It is "A Child's Introduction to Poetry" author is Michael Driscoll illustrated by Meredith Hamilton. It comes with a cd so they are not just listening to mom read, so that's a change. Its longer than I thought it would be though. I think I see a amazon purchase in the immediate future so we can delve into it a little bit more. Tre' has been enjoying it as much as Patience and PJ have. Well the house is quiet and I have to study.
Shalom,

Not long left

school will be starting soon. The kids are ready to do something I believe. I never have taken this long of a break (2 1/2 months) but, I believe the refresher is good for all parties involved. Summer was full of stuff to do. The highlight was the zoo I think. We went to the Memphis zoo with Aunt Raven and Granny. We ended up buying the membership because it was only a few dollars more than our cost of admission. Hopefully that means we will utilize it in the upcoming year. Pj liked the polar bears the best. For Patience it was the monkeys. She sat there for hours watching them play. Tre' loved the elephants. Precious and her sweet tooth loved the snow cones of course. We are planning to go back right before we start school.

I can't believe its been a year since I wrote. I have to get with it I know.
