October Homeschool Update

Things are going well in our homeschool! As you can tell, our "classroom" is getting full of all kinds of creations.

Alex loves math, and is pretty good at counting by 5's and 10's. He's getting the hang of counting by 2's as well. We have been working on counting money, and he's doing really well with looking at a group of coins and telling me how much money it is. He can tell time to the half hour, and he just started working on adding double digit numbers.

He is also reading, reading, reading! Each day, we do some type of phonics based skill worksheet, and I pick at least one thing for him to read to me. But I often catch him reading something on his own or to his brother. YES! That's the goal!

He will also read signs everywhere we go. Case in point: there is a sign in our church, right over the door when you go to leave, that says, "You are now entering your mission field." This past week, he read it to me and asked me what it meant! Hmm, now I have to start figuring out how to explain lots of things!

We have done a little bit of work with maps and reading map keys in social studies, and we learned about the 5 senses in science. Alex likes to tell me about the different senses we are using throughout the day.

And of course, we have a flexible schedule that allows us to get outside and have all kinds of crazy fun!

That's it from Boomerang Drive!
