We are finishing up our 4th week of Adventures. My kids are loving it. This week we read the North American Indians book. Christian wanted me to keep reading everyday. After getting a few weeks in to school (although it took longer than a few weeks due to being busy busy busy) I am so glad that I went with Rod and Staff English. I really like how it is set up. It fits our family well. Also I have realized I do not care for Spelling by Sounds and Structure. I thought I would like it and I don't......I have been looking and looking. I am really thinking about going with All About Spelling. I really like it (from what I can see in the sample on there website). I am a little worried because it will take more of my time to teach it but with me not being very good with spelling I want to make sure my kids can do better.

Riley is tagging along with Adventures and also finishing K. He will be starting 1st grade soon. I love that he can work where he needs to be and not where everyone else thinks he should be. Taking K a little slower has been good for him. Hopefully he will be ready for 1st now. I know that the writing will be a lot for him but we can split it up if needed.

Eli is still playing :) the MFW preschool packs are so worth the money. Eli and Annie will play with over and over. They are learning so much just from playing. Just Monday I found out Annie can match colors and so then I tried shapes and she can match those too. On top of that she has been in bog girl underwear for about 3 weeks......I guess my baby is growing up.
