This Week

Wow, what a productive week. After spending the first month of school trying to plan everything out myself, it is amazing how much time we had been wasting. This week we started using the Time 4 Learning program for Language Arts, Math and Science. It is great to be able to have a better flow to our work and it lets me make sure I don't miss something.

It is amazing how much she loves to use a computer. She gets so excited when I tell her it is time to do her computer lessons; and the Time 4 Learning program is so simple to use that even a kindergartner has no trouble.

Another great aspect of the Time 4 Learning program is that there are worksheets you can print off to reinforce the lessons that have been taught. This way she not only sees and hears the information, but she gets hands on work for the lessons as well. This is definitely the most effective way for my Monkey to learn. Besides, who doesn't enjoy scissors and glue:-).

Of course there is always additional fun stuff to do each week, like going for a nature walk to gather up a bunch of goodies so we can spend even more time playing with the glue.

Over all I feel that this was the most productive week of school we have had yet; and I am still amazed at how much I am learning about my Monkey during this process. I am certain now that this is the correct path for her learning and am looking forward to all the other fun projects we will be doing in the weeks to come.
