Language Arts, Reading, Spelling~

As I move down our schedule, I move down the rainbow work drawers~
Red: Bible and Calendar Notebooks
Orange: Writing, Grammar
Green: Language Arts, Reading, Spelling

Today I want to share my thoughts so far with our LA curriculum.
With EK I am using Beautiful Feet: Early American History and we have been reading Leif the Lucky and honestly, we are having a hard time getting into it. Just a smidge over her head and I am struggling to paraphrase so she will understand. SO I may either skip the Lief book or move onto the next book, Columbus.

I also like to read something fun with her so she is reading Pony Mysteries highlighting vocabulary and retelling with details.
While I am working with EK, SJ works on Reading Eggs and when I work with SJ, EK does RE too.
I didn't take photos but SJ is working through Bob Books Set 2 and I have some printables for her to work on from Walking by the Way.
 This is my second year to use BFIAR and FIAR and the kids LOVE it.
For Spelling I really haven't found anything that EK loves. I am continuing Spelling Workout and instead of writing in the book, EK is doing all her work on a dry erase board. Smart. :)

Our Chrysanthemum activity today~ the GREATEST name is Jesus~
And He is the only One that can mend a wrinkled heart.

I also had a thought this morning as we were beginning our Prayer Pail time that I should print photos of kids we were praying for. Clearly it was a happy idea~
 Later in the morning I looked over to see Evie holding the Bible and praying... was just mumbling but definitely knows the connection with prayer and the Word.
God is so good!!!

Birthdays, Stitches, and a Wedding~
