Looking at curriculum is so overwhelming! I agree--I think it's more like fast food. My daughter can read some of the easy books but she's not sounding things out well and she's always just guessing at the words. I'm going to keep looking into the Spalding program and I'm thinking about getting the Phonics Road and trying out the first level. I have heard good things about Abeka though. I know it's very thorough. I used some of their stuff in my private school when I was in elementary and middle school.lexinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134777892508885758.post-28519131700962013172009-06-08T03:41:27.000-05:002009-06-08T03:41:27.000-05:00LOL, oh I remember doing that in elementary school...LOL, oh I remember doing that in elementary school as a fall project - very fun.

I had never seen this craft and such a good one for this age, I'll have to try it with Samuel.<br><br>Thanks for your kind comments and I've missed you, seems I've been a bit dry for blogging material or when I begin a new post all inspiration and energy vanishes. Truth is I spent over an hour last week trying to get a post up loaded with pictures, some scripture, and a lengthy description on I don't even remember anymore, anyways I pushed submit and the computer rejected it by sending it off to the nether regions of cyber space. I was crushed, sat down on the floor and bawled. Okay not really about the crushed and bawling part but it did add a little drama didn't it. ANYWAYS, (I promise to get to the point) I've been givin the computer the cold shoulder these past few days...I don't think it's registering though.<br><br>Oh my that comment was long enough to pass for a post!<br><br>I think of you every time the temps get above 90 and the children and I get all excited over a cactus we find in the pasture, my desert friend.<br><br>Stay cool and blessings, JulieOldSchoolMarmnoreply@blogger.com
