Seriously, its been this long!? Well, I found that with homeschooling both the kiddies and now over half way through another pregnancy..finding lessons and links in my favorites is a hassle!! Its also eatting up some serious cpu space:). So, I REALLY need to keep up here, makes it much easier to find links and such down the road:). Plus its fun to share! I have truly found some amazing FREE online lessons for the kids. Azah is the most amazing kid, all around. Currently I mostly use online tools for her, print outs, etc. But she has far exceeded my expectations. She is now doing second grade math and is in first grade reading. I believe the only thing I have held back on from first grade is cursive, she IS still only 4 and I think thats a bit much! The baby is due in August and after a break from our tedious school schedule, we will start Azah with lessons from A Beka. Roman is amazing, as well. At one point I thought the boy was color blind, however now knowing his colors I believe it was more that he just wanted to go for another round of "lets see how far I can jump of the table." By the way, he finally broke the table for the final time and we had to purchase a more sustaniable one:P. Roman is currently on E with Alphabet recognition, as well as up to number 4 for recognition. We are also working on number values. Working with marble math, as I did with Azah. The kid loves marbles:). He started to pretend to read, as well...which is new for me, as Azah just wanted to know how to sound everything out and to REALLY read. Azah is a great teacher and a good helper with her little brother. In the meantime, Roman refuses that we might be having a girl. He protests and says he wont hold a girl baby. lol, however he too denies that he will be a big brother and always wants to be a little brother. I take that as a testiment from him that Azah must be a great big sister. Here is a great link for money worksheets. I love generator sites! http://http//mathfactcafe.com/money/default.aspx A few years ago I found a site with wonderful free printables, she also has some for sale. Sign up, she has daily free printables. My favorite is the playdough cards, we used them for Azah when she was refining her letter recognition. Now that we are working with Roman on the same task, I reprinted a few that I was missing. HOWEVER, it took me ages to find the link to that printable (this one is free). SO I will save you the hassle and share the link, as a thank you for reading my blog:). The first link is the home site link, the second is the PDF format for the cards. http://http//www.childcareland.com/ http://http//www.earlylearningactivities.com/PDF/pdalphacards.pdf NOTE~I have had a hard time getting replied emails back, so until you make contact I would not purchase anything and I would stick to the freebies:).
