Some Stuff

We've been doing school the whole time... I just can't keep up with the posting that I was doing. My friend Amy suggested that I look into Sonlight curriculum, and gave me a catalog. Well.... it has been life-changing. Here I was completely prepared to plan out all of our school, and even had a lot of ideas about that. The only problem was that I may very soon be adding two little boys to our family, and I was freaking out about having the kind of planning time that I need now, much less adding more subjects and more projects to do... so... Sonlight is a perfect choice for us. We are going to do the P 4/5 core with K Readers. He can already read so many words that I hate to not do any reading next year, so we're going to do the K readers. They are little books and he'll be able to easily finish them, and hopefully get some confidence in his reading ability. He's a little frustrated right now because he can't read The Chronicles of Narnia books. I guess he thought we would do school for a few days and then he'd be able to read these huge books. He told me the other day that he didn't want to learn how to read, and since he's young and I don't want him to get burnt out, we're going to learn our letters and do some word reading, but no more story readings like we have been doing.
Another thing that I like about Sonlight is that everything will be already planned out for me, and all I will have to do is get the books out that we are supposed to read each day. That's pretty much it. We still have to order the core... we haven't done that yet, but we're going to get it the beginning of May. I won't be able to see it until we come back home in June, about a month before school starts. I'm so excited for all of the many changes that are coming in the next few months for our family. I'll try to update every week or every couple of weeks until we officially start our PreKindergarten year.
Oh... Price can count to 30 in English, 10 in Spanish, and he knows six colors in spanish! I'm so proud. He knows how to write his name all by himself, and he knows our phone number and address!!
