Tot School


I made matching cards with the upper and lower case letters A - D. I had the "Big Man" turn them over and match the letters and say what letter he found a match to. I plan on adding on hopefully next week with the matching by adding correlating objects that begins with the letter, and have him match the letter with the object. Did lots of reading, playing with playdoh and putting together Melissa and Doug chunky puzzles. We had a great week. Sorry no pictures!

Blog Challenged

Ok, someone needs to help this sistah out with the blogging skills. I am pea green with envy(in a good way of course) at the following blogs Love's School , Joy's of Homeschooling , and Trivium Academy and there are others. I have got to give you ladies a shout out. Your blogs look absolutely fabulous. I know you are really busy taking care of business(i.e., family, homeschooling and blogging creations), but when you get a minute, give a sister a little help, would you please? I do know a little photoshop(smile).

Happy Monday

We have started our week out pretty good. I have enjoyed not having to go out of the house on Monday's and Wednesday's since December. But unfortunately that has come to an end. My precious Big Man is taking some classes at the local university and we are on our way out today. My prayer is that everyone has a great week. Let's celebrate a new week.

Weekly Report


We have pictures this week. I used my daughter's digital camera. This week, we had a rough time with Math. I seriously had to get over my perfection issues of wanting to be finished with a particular page and trying to move on to the next topic. After much prayer, the Lord has given me peace. The older kiddy's had to take their Math test twice before they could pass it. But the blessing is- they understood the next topic and really built on what we had previously studied. Spelling/Vocabulary - finished up definitions and games; both tested at 100%; Science - dissecting the eye(we are fearfully and wonderfully made). Grammar went well also, this was not my favorite subject in school, so this is like pulling teeth for me. Social Studies - Ancients and timelines. Reading - assorted books.










Tot School




The Big Man is at a real great pace, he is able to recognize letter A, B, C, & D; along with the numbers 1 & 2. He is so excited to be able to write the letter A, C and D. He is having difficulty with the letter B. Here is a sample of his letter A. I decided to use his etch a sketch that he received as a Christmas Gift. We also did lots of reading. He absolutely loves Dr. Seuss.
