A quick post

We have been busy theese last few weeks and our plans haven't gone as planned Liahona has spent a lot of time reading her favorite books, right now  Cowgirl Kate and Cocoa books are her favorites. I had heard about them from someone and decided to give it a try with her and was amazed at how much she was able to read on her own. I wish there were more than six books in the series (since she has read them all already). This week I am going to expand on her love for these books using the ideas from the Teachers Guide found on the authors website.
I was able to buy the Math-U-See Manipulative Blocks  now I'm just waiting for the UPS man to deliver them.

School Starts Monday

Wow!! December has been the last time I posted I can't believe it has been that long and school for us will start Monday. Our lives has been busy and a lot of changes have occurred and will continue to occur hopefully things will be figured out before the end of the year. For awhile I was debating of using a K12 program which is basically an online public school the more I thought about it the less sure I was. In the end we decided with our current situation it is best to go on it on our own. So as I think of things we can do with Liah with little to no money things are slowly working out. I wanted to do Math-U-See and was able to get it today at a decent price. YEAH!!! That was one thing I was worried about even though she is counting pass 100, adding and subtracting single digits, and is skip counting (2,5,10 and even tries it with 3 and 4) I was still nervous about her having a good foundation. I'm hoping that this program works with her all I need now is some manipulatives.
Another area of concern is her handwriting the poor girl had no chance with both her parents having bad handwriting. I'm hoping that maybe I can find a way to buy HWOT (Handwriting Without Tears). For now we will do the best that we can. Someone shared this site on Facebook and will use it quite a bit Handwriting Worksheets
This is basically what our plan is for this year of course as life happens this may change:
Spiritual:
Continue reading Book of Mormon reader
Memorize Articles of Faith (she has the first seven memorized)
Sing songs from Sharing Time
Math:
Math U See- Alpha
English:
Finish Charlotte's Web
Start Little House on the Prairie
Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Lessons
Practice Handwriting
Science:
My Body
Astronomy
Foreign Language:
Russian
ASL (American Sign Language)

Since for awhile I was planning on doing K12 my list isn't as specific as I would like to be. I will slowly work and improve on her lessons and since she is already above a Kindergarten level in most areas I'm not too worried about it at all. My husband and I both know that at this time this is the best thing for her and will continue to follow the plan the Lord has placed before us.
