Summer School


A few notes about summer learning around here:

  • Bobo started Saxon 5/4 last week, which I'm loving because it becomes self-teaching at this point. She reads her lesson, learns the new concepts, and then works through the practice problems. It's still all review, so I'm not ready to comment on how this will be for the long haul.
  • Toddzilla is enjoying our current history read-a-loud, Johnny Tremain. I think he likes staying up as late as the girls more than anything - but hey, he's listening. Elbow is now reading The Courage of Sarah Noble; Bobo is on The Skippack School.
  • We started making a book of presidents today. I'm printing out a head shot of each president, then the girls are copying the lyrics of this song onto the president's page. We did five presidents today because they got excited about it and Crockett was taking an extra long nap.

  • Crockett "reads" Bob books in his spare time.


  • The girls dressed up in their finery and sang the presidents song for Hubby upon his arrival home from work.
