rackin up the hours

Homeschooling is going well. Sylvi is behind Wade with actual hours doing school work. I hope to change that a bit in the next few weeks.
I am working on some creative projects that will help Sylvi with counting, addition, reading etc but will still be great fun for her.
Wyatt has learned a few more letters. He's a stubborn lil cuss so it is hard to know what he actually understands vs. what he doesn't.
Wade's writing skills are improving slowly. I am introducing him to the thesaurus this week and will have him work on editing sentences.
My goal would be to have his essays on 8th grade level by Jan. or Feb.
Being an excellent conversationalist means you can write ... just learning to put it all on paper is the hard part. Wade is an excellent conversationalist.

I want to get Sylvi reading and learning parts of speech as quickly as possible. The beauty of Wyatt and Sylvi being close in age is that I can use a lot of what has helped Sylvi to help Wyatt.

I do feel I may have to buy a phonics program to get Wyatt reading fluently. We are using Starfall.com with a lot of success.
