Well we completed 6 weeks of the school year 2014/15 and then I decided to put the three Bigs in German public school. What a great time they've had! They're not learning much of anything but German and getting a fun cultural experience, but it is so worth it. Savannah and Charlotte are reviewing the math they did the previous year, Charlotte 3rd and Savannah 4th. I'm supplementing Savannah's math so she can keep up with her true grade level of 5th grade. I switched her from Math Mammoth to CLE 5 (Christian Light Education). It is traditional, spiral math and it is great. Charlotte was ahead in math, so she will now be in her age-grade of 3rd grade, and I don't supplement her learning. Madelynn is probably getting the most out of the experience. She brings home reading and writing homework every day. They love art, sport, music, and religion class (Catholicism), the field trips, walks, and performances.
Now that Zach is about to be 5 years old, I am beginning school with him. I'm using the Kumon books: numbers, handwriting capital letters, and mazes, and then we'll move on to HWT print series K-2. He does not enjoy writing and coloring like his sisters so I think I will just teach him how to print instead of doing cursive. He is learning to sound out three-letter words on the white board with the AAS letter tiles, and soon he will begin reading Bob Books.
