Braxtyn - All the Abeka K-4 is working for her, she loves to sit with the boys and take in history and science
Graham - Saxxon K was a bust. So boring! I ordered the Abeka K and he is doing great! He loves it and it is something he is successful at each day.
Things Graham has accomplished this year so far: Kindergarten (6yrs.)
1. writing his name on his own
2. Writing all his numbers 1-20
3. All the vowels and there sounds
4. Blending vowels with consonants
5. SLOWLY - reading three letter words of the consonants he knows
6. Consonants are slow and he only knows about 8 at this point. Still knows there sounds better than the name of the letter.
Writing without tears is good, Explode the code is the perfect slow pace and repetition that is helping him to know letters. We are not at K level yet, we are still at pre-K, Abeka ladder book of vowels is a great repetition for him.
Giddy UP Round UP is good but its hard to fit it in the schedule sometimes.
Noah - Abeka English is easy this year, mostly review from 1st grade. Spelling is still tough for him it takes a lot for him to remember some of the special sounds. He is great at Saxxon math 2, he is almost ready for Saxxon 3. He is reading third grade level books quietly to himself and retaining the story. Abeka science is lame this year, we are looking into a coop with a science teacher. History of the World is great for everyone, we all enjoy it. He is doing cursive this year and doing great, his handwriting is improved. He is typing with his spelling words, using Spelling City.com, that has improved both his spelling and keyboard use.
