Our Summer Activities

Welcome! This is our new blog to share some of our Homeschooling activities. We are between Kindergarden and First grade right now with M and preparing to begin Pre-K with A in the fall.
During the Summer we have been in the process of reading 100 books! That is our goal and we have completed sixty-seven books! There is a prize for M when we meet the goal. It is a much desired Hero Factory Robot.
On of my goals with the kids is to read a lot and instill a love of reading. (the main reason that I love the Sonlight Curriculum) however, I'm not always great at finding time in our day to sit and read with them. This way, the kids are motivated and they motivate me.
This has also caused us to make better use of the library during the summer months. During the school year we hardly go there because we have plenty of books to read in our schoolwork. I would love to take them for the weekly story hour too but I dread my toddlers tantrums.

The other work we are doing this summer is M's continued work on the Explode the Code workbooks. (We are on book 3) and continuing Horizons Math K: Book 2.

I've spent much of the morning shopping for curriculum for our coming year. I will be posting on that plan soon! Have a great day!
