Cursive Intensive

Yes, there are 26 letters in the alphabet! Wow, it seems like the loops and swoops will never end!

Student enjoyed the introduction to D, E, and F today. She thought that D would be too hard, but her perseverance proved otherwise. Also, the sliding of a hand across paper is a skill ever-so-delicately perfected. The challenge of fine-tuning these fine motor skills was such a struggle for me, back in the days of being a student. I am thankful for the patient fruit God is producing in Student!

Adding more suffixes to the mix, our magnet board is getting more use today. It is fun to see how many rooms in the house can be used for homeschooling! Since we taught Student to operate the washing machine and dryer today, for Life Skills, the laundry room is getting double-usage today!

Math and Phonics seatwork, along with History and good ol' Reading, our light days continue! Looking forward to Fall Break and an expanding family in the next week! Lead us oh Lord, to use our time wisely.

Student Says: It was fun learning more letters in cursive. My favorite was the capital cursive D. Maybe I will stay up late this weekend!

As a teacher, there are several ways to present an assignment. So, try to solve this assigment riddle:

Take one Student given a leading personality

Add the traits born to her from her parents

Mix in the Eldest sibling tendencies

And what assignments fit this beautiful creature best?

laissez-faire

French for "to let do".

Give this Student the supplies and she will run with them! This clown is from her art project book of lessons she can easily do alone. Self-directed and always a few dazzling features added, all she creates is full of "her touch!" She was to color it, simply with crayons, but with glue and fabric at her fingertips...she couldn't resist!

On the same note, what other books could we be reading than, Fancy Nancy? Student fell in love with this series last summer. We had the opportunity to read the Dazzling Book Report to ready Student for her own first report. We will continue preparing for this and soon see all that it has created!

Math, Phonics, Language and History all fell into the mix today, as well. Our reading of Space facts is almost complete. The biggest reaction has come from Toddler, however who has turned his firefighter helmet into part of an astronaut space suit. What world will we be in tomorrow? Homeschool can be anywhere!
