Look who's ready for school!

And um.. that would be me... the teacher! :)

And Leah, the student who starts KINDERGARTEN this September!
We are both SOOOOOOO excited!

Here is my treasure trove of school supplies/curriculum.

My Living Room School Shelves..
all in order and full of readiness!


Our main curriculum..
Sonlight's Core P 4/5 .. reading based-learning, how great is this?
I plan to teach Bekah right alongside.. :)


Language Arts/Phonics:
Sing Spell Read & Write..
same on I used in Kindergarten! LOVE this!


Math:
Math-U-See's Primer Level.. looks fantastic!
I had to have a math curriculum that I a Math-hater could
understand & teach and I found it!


Handwriting/Extras:
Various Dry Erase boards/books for practice
My First Calendar for learning



Music:
My First Piano Adventure Books by Faber & Faber
Leah's learning to play Piano! :)


Animal Science:
Frog Habitat, Ant Farm & Bird Watching (in winter)
This will be fun!!!!



In short, I am so excited to be starting school, and hope to make a great year
with Leah & Bekah learning all kinds of fun & new things.

I am very blessed to be able to homeschool, taking my time with each subject and work individually with her plus be flexible enough to double-up on school days, or take a day off if I want to.


And off we go.... :)

Fall Beauties

Here are two of the prettiest things we've seen this Fall Season!

SO CUTE!
2 1/2 and 4 1/2 yrs old

Our little Cubbie Bear

Leah's 1st Cubbbie Awards at AWANA was last week. She did SO good singing her songs and looking SO cute up on the stage! So hard to believe she is done with her 1st year of Cubbies already!

She was soooooo excited to get her 1st book award for her vest.. which is you can't see but the "A" is all filled from the verses she learned! Will be so hard to wait until fall to start again! She loves it!

Happy 4th Birthday Leah!

So hard to believe my little "Leah-Bug" is four today!!!!

I love you so much, you are so special and sweet and a treasure to our family!

Happy Birthday!

Our Girls in 2010

Isn't this just precious? :)

This picture alone was the best shot I got of our 2 girls at their "together" photo session, due to Rebekah being a little stinker and not wanting to do anything for the camera! (new problem for me!) But at least we got one good shot together for 2010!

Our Leah.. almost 4!!!!!!

Our Bekah.. almost 2!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How did they get so big? Lately, I have been taking more time just to enjoy being with the girls, and spending time with them in "their world". They are growing so fast.. I can;t comprehend it some days! But what a blessing they are! :)
