2 thumbs up from Isaac!

Saturday night Isaac crept out of his bedroom and came and whispered in my ear, "I really like our new curriculum, Mom..." and I tried not to cry!

He was very skeptical, that young man, but has really enjoyed our school time more and more each day as he sees that it is consistently good. I think he has been waiting all week for the fun and interesting things to stop, and the torture to begin! I even added in his formal grammar study(Preparing to Build), and he was SO pleasantly surprised by the doable, short lessons. He immediately realized it was something he could do well, and quickly, too. He is doing formal literature study(Drawn into the Heart of Reading, otherwise known as DITHOR) as well!! Next week we will add math back into our routine, and the following week we will add formal handwriting practice. Finished in 1 and 1/2 hours today!

Alyza loves her pink school (Little Hands to Heaven), and is all about the letter 'A' this week! She has discovered collages, and I'm afraid she won't complete another full sentence or meal until she has covered the entire house in pieces of construction paper artwork! She cuts everything out of magazines, sunday ads, and grocery fliers! Perfectly, too! Such girliness!
