Today was our first full day since before Thanksgiving. I'd planned to start back Monday but got distracted by on-line shopping. Who knew there was such a thing as Cyber Monday?
Tuesday was our co-op day followed by roller skating. I guess that was technically a full day since we did everything we had planned, but we didn't do anything bookish at home.
Evan is loving his Handwriting Without Tears book. I never did make the big wooden letter pieces (though I was going to use something easier to cut) but he's whizzing right through the book without them. I guess it helps to wait until the writer is six year olds. LOL
I found a box of beginning reading books in the attic. Evan has been devouring them. He even found a few Pooh Bear books in there and has been reading them to Matthew. So cute!! Ryan is enjoying the books too. He pulled out all the science-y books, mostly dinosaurs and sharks, and has been reading those even though they're way too easy. He has a new admiration for the whale shark, so big and yet so nice. I'm glad to see he's shifted his focus from his previous fave, the killing machine known as The Great White.

Blech, Cyber Monday. I was already done shopping online by then--why wasn't it Cyber Friday, or Cyber Weekend??? I wondered why retailers weren't posting hot internet sales on Black Friday like they did last year!
Would you recommend the "Handwriting without Tears"? Right now, with my 5 year old son I'm using Christian Liberty Press manuscript materials. However I was originally going to do cursive via a free online website. I know Abeka curriculum pushes cursive early... He's doing so well with manuscript - I thought I would have him "master" (as well as he can) that and move onto cursive soon. Any expertise/tips in this arena are welcomed! Thanks!
