First weeks of Five in a Row!!!!

Okay everyone here is our work from our first 2 weeks of school.... We have decided to row for 2 weeks because we do alot of things with our homeschool group and we wanted not only flexibility but enough time to really dive into each book.....

For now we are using seperate Spelling, and reading programs but I may be replacing these with Learning Language Arts through Literature: Red Book. Not sure but we'll see.....

Here is Morgan's math work (for now the beginning is review from first grade). She is using MCP Math: grade 2


Next is Handwriting. This year we are transitioning to cursive..... using A Reason for Handwriting: Transition

Here we have Morgan's Spelling. She is working in Steck-Vaughn Grade 2.


Here is the latest story Morgan read in her Pathway Readers...... She is reading the second book on the "first grade" level.

And now the fun part!!!! Drum roll please................
