FREE On-line Resource I LOVE

We found this AWESOME and FREE Spelling/Math/History site that we are using in addition to our everyday curriculum.  It is called BigIQKids.com and we just LOVE IT!  The graphics are vivid and really catch your eye.  Kiddo likes using it, so it works for me!! 

I really like the Spelling/Vocabulary section because I have a choice of either using their word bank or using words of our own.  We are using WordlyWise3000 to coincide with this program.  After each lesson is completed, you earn coins, which you can them redeem on the game page.  AWESOME!!!!

First Day Of School

Today is our first day back to school, indicating our summer break is now over.  I have decided to start out very slowly, putting our feet back into the waters, one step at a time.   I decided to start with the following today. . . . .

*Spelling and Vocabulary ~through WordlyWise3000.com

*US History ~ Watching the PBS Series "FRONTIER HOUSE" and doing a unit on The Homestead Act 1862

*Literature ~ Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe (study guide)

*Mathematics ~ Consumer Math (budgeting & time management)




 

So, Kiddo.......How do you think our first day went?

YAY. . . .It's Here

Kiddo's vocabulary book, that is!! WOO HOO!  We will use this in conjunction with their spelling program which you can find on-line HERE!

I absolutely LOVE their spelling lists!  They give you the word, the part of speech, use it in a sentence, AND even pronounce the word for you.  You can also play games the use your spelling words as well. 

WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE? 

What spelling vocabulary/spelling curriculum do you use?

I Changed My Mind

I have changed my mind (I'm allowed to, I'M THE MOM and THE TEACHER!) and decided to start school next Monday, the 12th. We have a LOT going on this week and I don't want our first week to be dodging bullets. So, we will enjoy another few days off and then jump back in the following Monday.

Have a great weekend!

On Monday. . . . .

. . . . .this will be us. At least that's what we're shooting for!

How about you?  When do you start school again or have you already started?
