MATH

I thought I would share the math we use. We love Horizons math and all 3 children are using it this year.

There are 2 workbooks for each grade.  Here is what they look like inside.  Very colorful and exciting.  My kids love them.  This is the 5th grade book my 11 year old is in.

We remove the pages a few at a time and put them on the right.  When she finishes a page, she puts it on the left of her folder for me to grade.  If she needs to make corrections, I put it back on the right side.  Once she makes her corrections, she puts back on the left for me to check again.  It's a nice way to keep up with it and works for us.

This is the 2nd grade book that my 7 year old is in now.  A view inside of the book.  As you can see, also very colorful.  All the Horizons math books are like this from K-6th.

My 7 year old's folder for math.  Same system as above.

The math book that my 5 year old is using now.  He's learning a lot already.  You can see the inside here as well.  Beautiful pictures to keep him interested!

Saying goodbye to a friend

Christiana's mouse, Nibbles has been ill for a while with a tumor. It finally got to be too much, so we put her to sleep this evening. She died right about midnight. I had no idea I would be so upset about it. We plan to bury her in the yard on Friday. She's the gray mouse on the right. Spot is the white and brown one. She's sick, but is ok for now.

A new school year

It's a new school year, thought we really never stopped from last year. As we finished books, we started new ones. I need to change my curriculum list on the side to match what we are actually doing now. I think most of those are the old books.

Been a while since I updated. Been using facebook more than this blog lately and made lots of new friends on there. Hope to update here more often.
