instant win

I just won! A friend of mine has gotten me interested in this. Tonight I won a $15 Best Buy coupon and a free Minute Maid drink from mycokerewards.com. woohoo! :)

Rylie loves to sing. This one is funny because she all of a sudden raises the pitch of her voice. And too because you can't understand what she is saying. :) And at the end of almost every video I have of her she says, "I wanna see."

Homeschool

We are using the Sonlight Curriculum. It is going very well so far. We are on our 6th week. We have Bible, History, Reading, Math, Phonics/Spelling, Handwriting, and Science. We have already finished 2 chapter books and are reading the 3rd. We have read The Boxcar Children Book 1, The Apple and the Arrow, and are currently reading My Father's Dragon. Of course I read the books and the girls listen. They seem to be enjoying it.

So far Olivia's favorite subject is Math. She asks alot of mornings if I will let her do math first. She is already adding numbers like 2+4=6.

Yesterday she read her first 5 words. At, Bat, Fat, Rat, Mat. We have learned letters F, B, M, R, T, and A. The curriculum introduced them in that order and so we are already reading short words formed from those letters. She picked it up fairly easy. I was glad! :)

The website is http://www.sonlight.com/. We are using the Kindergarten curriculum.

Trying to get this blog going again....and homeschooling.

Well, I fell off the blog wagon for some reason. But I am trying to get back on :) I have been reading a few blogs of homeschoolers and thought it might be good (since there are so many people that think my children are not learning a thing) to keep an update on here about what Olivia (and the other 2 at times) are learning. So here goes...........

Outside in January

It was warm enough to play outside today, so I took the opportunity to snap a few pictures.
