We only have three more days left in our preschool curriculum. Yes, only 3 more. Jonathan picked up the pace on me again this past week and we've been reading and doing extra workbook pages. So, Friday is now our last day of preschool. {*sniff, sniff*}
What a great year it has been with Sonlight P3/4 and P4/5! We've read so many great stories.
Jonathan was looking for something to do yesterday afternoon, so we started on Sonlight Readers 1 and LA 1. I hadn't planned to start for two more weeks. He blew through the first two weeks of reading in 15 minutes. I figured that he would – I scheduled each week in the instructor guide for one day since that will be the bulk of what we're doing for the next six weeks. There are a lot of exercises in LA 1 that are probably above him but we're trying them anyway. He did fine with comprehension, the copywork and the first two activity pages. I suspect that he'll have more trouble with the creative writing, but he'll mostly be dictating to me, not doing the writing for himself.
I've been reading The Well-Trained Mind over the last few days. I'm finding that there are more classical elements that fit with Charlotte Mason than I realized. I'm looking for ways to include more classical elements into my method of homeschooling.
I can't believe that my little boy is almost in Kindergarten!
