I have purchased both Calvert’s pre-k and Abeka’s k-4. The plan is to start with Calvert and after it is completed to do Abeka’s k-4. Then I will make a decision about which works better for us. I may love Calvert so much that I will skip Abeka’s k-4. I don’t know.
Wiggles is finishing up his year of day school. He is enjoying it and it has gone well. I am looking forward to him coming home next year though.
I will probably keep his schooling on this blog until he starts 1st grade.
It has been a long while since I have blogged on Wiggle’s blog. He is still in day school and still doing well. He has had a chronic cough since about November and I took him in to the doctor and found out it is bronchitis. He started antibiotics today and hopefully will be much better soon.
He will be staying home next year with the big kids. I am debating what curriculum to use. I do have a short list though and it is down to Abeka or Calvert.

Ultimately, I am ordering all from one place this year so my decision weighs heavily on how I like the older grades as well.

Wiggles’ day school uses the letter people curriculum. Here is Mrs. F. Each week there is a Family activity page to do with your child about the letter person they are learning.

Wiggles is enjoying day school, but still loves to do his LHTH work at home. He has a busy week though. He goes to day school M-F in the morning. He goes to co-op with us Monday afternoons and when he asks we do LHTH at home.
Next year, he will likely do LHFHG for kindergarten at home.
We have decided to put Wiggles in Day School. Home school and co-op is working beautiful for our bigger kids, but the offerings at the co-op for preschool is not what Wiggles or I need. Wiggles has also been demanding more attention during schooling the biggers. This is more often “bad” attention.
I didn’t think that we would find a spot for him, but we did. The director is also Big Sis’ previous pre-k teacher. I am very excited for him as he loves having something all his own. It is also helping him to be around kids his age. He is the youngest of 4 and everyone else is well past the preschool years.
He goes M-F for 3 hours. You would be amazed at how much schooling I can do with my 2nd, 4th, and 5th grader during this time. It has made a big difference in our home school.
I plan to start back our home school with him next week in the afternoon after he has relaxed and rested from day school. This is what we need for this season in our lives.
The fire dept. came and talked to them and gave them these wonderful hats. He is enjoying day school.
Next week, we will add back in our LHTH in the afternoon.
Well, we have been super busy lately as a family. We are selling popcorn with scouts on the weekends as well as playing soccer 2 days a week and practicing soccer 3 days a week. We also go to co-op one afternoon a week. As you can imagine, school has suffered.
We have completed about a week’s worth of work in 2 weeks.

All done!
There was more to our weeks than this, but we have really been pushing to finish school. There hasn’t been a lot of picture taking as much as just being glad we got through the day.
Wiggles has been sick a lot this week. From Wednesday on, he has been ill. Since Tuesdays are our first day of the school week that means he only did 1 day of school.
I am going to try again next week with him and just pick back up Unit 2.
Here are some pictures of some work he did last weekend to finish out Unit 1.

Voila! A perfect Aa!
Hopefully, next week goes better and Wiggles feels better soon.
We had a very good week. We are using HOD’s Little Hands to Heaven along with some extras. We did some color association, letter A, number 1, and read about Creation in our first Bible.
