We are officially on break until June 1st and my computer has been on the fritz until finally crashing a few days ago. So I haven't been posting much.
Despite being on break, Squeak and Piglet are doing more "unschooling" type things. Lots of reading (my voice has returned so I can read to them too).
All of my orders from Rainbow Resources have arrived including our Peak With Books books, the Miquon stuff, AL Abacus and some Kumon writing workbooks. This should keep my girls busy this summer for "inside" school stuff.
I am excited to start Miquon and MEP and decide if either or both will become part of our math regime! Potentially dropping Horizons. Squeak was playing with the C-rods today and was making connections between the rods and their sizes and building "stairs". I'm going to let her free play all this week and start some games with them this week and next week. MEP and Miquon also "slow down" tactics on my part as she is zipping along through 1st grade math.
So that is where we are now. I guess we need to decide on what to do with the computer. It's Windows that actually crashed...ugh!
I was wondering where you were ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat has turned you off Horizons... too easy or the method? I was looking at it because next year.. when Aidan finishes level 1 in Singapore... I'd want to have another supplemental math program.
ReplyDeleteUnderstanding about the computer! Thanks for posting the comment on my blog in response to my questions.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a great summer ahead of you.
Blessings.
