Not much to report...

but I thought I'd update anyway!

School-wise, C.O. is moving into counting by 5's, and has been playing a lot with his set of Learning Wrap-Ups. I got him a set of Bob Books, as I have this theory that if it is easy for him to read, he'll be less reluctant to read, and will move gradually toward more complex reading without much resistance. Guess what? It's working - he's actually excited to be reading out loud! He is also moving into using lowercase letters as opposed to all capitals, all at his own desire and pace.

C.J. is doing well with printouts from Enchanted Learning. She does a lot of color-and-count pages, along with basic alphabet activity sheets. I have started some phonics work with her as well, and we spend a lot of time playing around on Starfall.

We're starting a unit on recycling (just in time for Earth Day next month!), combining it with our other studies. Our apartment complex doesn't do recycling, as far as I've been able to find out, so I am working on a proposal for the property managment company. In the meantime, I can teach the kids about taking care of the Earth, and they can help sort our recycling. I actually have a lot of recycled-materials-art-projects at my fingertips, so we will be doing some of those. If anyone reading this knows of any good books, projects, etc., for young kids learning about the environment and conservation, let me know!
