My Favorite Care Bear (art), Number Line Math, & Learning to Read...

My Granddaughter is always proud of her work!
She has just begun her second year of Pre-School / Pre-K.

My Grandson is so excited that he has finally learned how to draw a star!
He has just begun grade 1 at age 5.  




My Grandson has learned how to add and subtract single digit numbers using a number line, his fingers, blocks, or whatever is handy.  (Memorizing the addition and subtraction facts will come as time goes by.  Understanding must come first!)  

  


My Grandson can now read many simple, short-vowel words.  He has recently taken a practice Spelling test (his first one) and scored 80%.  How encouraging it is to see your efforts as a homeschooling parent bearing fruit!

Timeline

Homeschool 2014 / Grades: 1st & Pre-K

We have begun our study of History by making a Timeline.

I am so glad that my grandchildren are able to study some subjects together, such as History, Science, and Art.
