Chloe wants to do French too - but I'm holding off at the moment because I haven't found anything at the lower primary level that I thought might work for us.
ReplyDeleteI have thought about Memoria Press { they do a French course } but it's geared for a little older. { 6th grade from memory }
If you find some a program for primary aged students please let me know :)
DeleteSounds like a good week - I like your list of homeschooling helps to share!
ReplyDeleteIt was. Enjoy exploring the links and have a great weekend.
DeleteWoohoo. Looks like you are just a bit ahead of me in Sonlight B. I love it. The kids, too! I was part of the Trim Healthy Mama group on FB but got off. I never really understood how it worked -- maybe I just wasn't ready to lose the last few pounds. Its quite popular. Have you tried that drink...what was it Oblong Tea of sorts?
ReplyDelete:) A little but not much. Sometimes we take detours but over all we have fun. I like the rythem.
DeleteMy mom is going to try the Shrinker made with Ooolong tea :( not my thing.
I have a few pounds to loose so hope this will help !
Lots of great links - thanks!
ReplyDeleteCharlotte's Web is one of our favorite read alouds.
