Superstar Learner

Today I started the journey... the homeschooling one... yup. i. sure. did. Charlotte is in pre-K, so it won't be too much. But, we're certainly going to have FUN with it! I'm not following a certain curriculum, but rather getting her feet wet for what Kindergarten will be like. She already knows her letters, colors, shapes, etc... seriously, she's a superstar. But we're going to do more application this year. Finding the letter "A" in words, color combinations create other colors, putting shapes together can create "objects" (triangle, square and rectangle can create a house), etc... I think you get the point. She's also learning how to write out letters, and read the letters (sounding out the letters). This is HUGE. The girl has a desire to learn, and a year ago (when we first adopted her), I would NEVER have seen her at this stage. She couldn't even talk when we met her, she didn't know a thing about life... and now she's running the show!





So here's to my first year as her teacher... whew! I think it's going to be a great journey.
Pin It!

  1. I started reading the "Magic Tree House" series to Ty. I know he doesn't comprehend it all, but he LOVES listening to me read! And its a chapter book, so takes a few nights/days to finish (or one in a homeschooling day). I bet she would LOVE them! Then in another few years, she will be reading them herself!!! Just another idea for you bag of goodies!

  4. Woo-hoo! I was home schooled for part of my education, and I always envisioned home schooling my kids. It hasn't been the right choice for us yet though. I love the first picture.
