Math Cake

Zion finished her Primer math book this past week and I wanted to do something special to celebrate. She opted to have a cake, as she LOVES cake. (She had a "100 Cake" when she mastered counting to 100 by herself, too.) She's doing really well with her math studies. We use the Math U See curriculum and I think it is great. It does a great job of cementing the reality of numbers, which I think is often lost when kids just memorize math facts. This week she starts the Alpha set. Whoo hoo!!

big sister

I wanted to post these pictures of Z and her baby brother. She is such a big help to me--she's always willing to hold him when I need to do something and it's obvious that he loves his big sister a lot.

Thanks for all your help!

Love,
Mom

my rat Tom

One nice thing about homeschool is I can have Tom with me. He likes to hang out in his basket while I do my school.
