Kindergarten days week #6!!!!!

Today we celebrated Fall!! I found this awesome book at our library. It tells about why leave's change colors! We had so much fun reading this book!
Then we decided that we were going to make our own "fall trees" and paint!They really enjoyed painting. :) We used our hand prints as the fall leaves!




Emma is very proud (and so is Mamma) of her letter Ll that she wrote. You can't see the paper very well, but aren't they cute?!?!? : )

Leah has learned 21 sight words! She LOVES her sight word tree and enjoy's adding a new leaf for each sight word she memorizes.















We say the pledge of allegiance EVERY morning and pray before we start our school day. It is a blessing to be able to do this with my children. It's a shame that they can't do this in public school.















Emma was SO happy to put the last day of September on our calendar this morning! As September comes to an end today, we are looking forward to October and all the great things we are going to learn!

In six weeks of Home School, Leah has learned the sound, name, and how to write the letters, Aa, Ee, Ii, Oo, Uu, Ll, Tt, Mm, Nn, Ss, Hh, Bb, and Cc! She has learned how to count to 30 with out looking at the numbers, and she can count to 100 while reading the numbers off the chart!
She is plugging along and reading level 1 books, and has memorized 21 sight words! I am SO proud of her and her accomplishments she has made in these last six weeks of school!

Emma has learned the sound, name, and how to write (still a little wiggly looking, but hey she's four!) the letters, Aa, Ee, Ii, Oo, Uu, and Tt! She has learned to count to 10 on her own, and is really getting better at writing her name!

Madelyn just tags along with Emma and does whatever she does :).....which sometimes is not a good thing :)

I have really enjoyed Home Schooling. Don't get me wrong, there are good days and there ARE bad days. But, God's grace gets me through!

Be still and know that I am God.....


It has been a crazy week around here! First Emma fell and busted her chin pretty badly, which later developed into a BIG hematoma! Thanking the Lord that it is so much better today!
Leah has learned to write, and read the letters Nn, Ll, Oo,Tt, Aa, Ee, Ii, and Uu! This week she has also learned how to count to 100! She is so smart and just whizzes through her work!
Emma has learned to read and write letters Aa, Oo, Uu, Ii, and Ee. She has learned to count to 20 and has really improved at writing her name! Which is a really big thing for Emma! ; )
All in all, we have had a really good week, and I am so thankful to be able to Home School my girls and spend as much time with them as I can!

Kindergarten days week #4!!!!!





This week we did a lot of review. We reviewed our vowels and numbers 1-9. We continued to count to 25, and we even worked on some basic addition problems.
We had a lot of fun together and worked hard! I continue to see improvement in my girls! They have learned a lot their first month of school!

Today after our school work was done, we decided to have some more fun with math and bake Daddy a welcome home pound cake! We measured very carefully and counted every cup! We mixed it well!


We enjoyed being Mathematician Bakers for the afternoon! : )

So far Leah has learned (how to read and write) all of her vowels, letter Tt, letter Ll, to recognize numbers 1-20, count to 25, basic math equations (1+4=5, ect), read the months of the year, read the days of the week. She has learned lots of sight words and she can even read (with a little help) level 1 books!

Emma has learned all of her vowels (how to read and write them), numbers 1-20, how to write her name, months of the year, and days of the week!
Looking forward to seeing what they have learned to do in the next month of school!
