Summer School

So that's what we've been doing around here.....summer school. I have decided to ease into this whole homeschool stuff very slowly. We are taking just Math, Reading and a little Languag Arts. So far the kid seem good. Math is clipping right along. We are using Math-U-See. It's a 5-10 min. teaching DVD and then the workbook pages. I like it becasue the kids move at their own pace. We do not move on to the next lesson until they can teach me the current one. It's great!!! For reading they have read time in their rooms for 30 min. a day from an assigned book.I did change Nate's earlier because he truly was not enjoying what he was reading. I think I may have to do the same with Charlie. My main focus right now is that they learn to love to read. And teh only way to do that is to read books of their intrests. And we also try to have a time that I read to them also. So we are off to a great beginning.....oh and we also have been working on our first lapbooks. I will save that for another post though. It has been so much fun!!!
