More Kindergarten

Homeschool is continuing on really well, but I'm not doing a good job at updating the blog. I'm going to do an update for about 2 weeks' worth of schooling because Todd left with my laptop power cord... for Austria. I'm not able to do much with my blog on the old computer upstairs because it is painfully slow and my new power cord won't be here until Wednesday. Bear with me...

This is the pile of books and manipulatives we're going to be using this school year. I meant to post this photo in the beginning, but forgot about it.

Isaac continues to work on his letters - he LOVES to write them BIG on the easel!!!

Working on the letter t in "Explode the Code." 

These are some of the pages from his "Explode the Code" workbooks. You can see where he's really mastering the letter sounds. I'm ecstatic about how quickly he's picking this up.

I promise there will be more soon. I have the photos loaded onto my laptop and I'll work on updating again as soon as I get a new power cord - hopefully Wednesday afternoon!
