he read the entire way through the grocery store and didn't even notice as i snapped his picture.
the homeschooling this year is going really well (you may remember, last year we 'took a break' and Lee went to school for the rest of Grade 2- more on that here).
my man and i rethought some of our goals and our methods and revised the plan in a way that works better for everyone, and also Lee knows now what regular school is like so he has a much better attitude about homeschooling!
Piano has become a big part of his curriculum: his lesson is now an hour a week and includes theory, and he practices for a big chunk and does his "pencil work" (theory) every day. his dad gives him math problems (fun high-level geometry and algebra) and we are still using JUMP math for basic skills. Lee is also using this website to learn to type. i am amazed at how fast/ how much his young brain can absorb this new skill. he reads a lot (mostly adventure or mystery novels) and we have been doing a lot of reading and research together about early Canadian history.
people have commented that they have never seen Lee so happy. I would have to agree.
