I'm so excited today! We've been going through a trying time with homeschooling lately. Even though it has been tough, I am even more convinced that homeschooling is the right choice for us right now. Had Princess E encountered these difficulties in a regular classroom, she might have gotten behind and not been able to get the help she needed.
Fourth grade is a transitional year. There is less memorization of facts and more reasoning. Math concepts are a little more advanced.
We've been working on writing persuasive and expository paragraphs. We've been working on using descriptive words and phrases, rather than simple (bland) sentences.
I'm amazed to see the stretching and growing in Princess E's mind. She's frustrated, but when the concepts finally "click", it is wonderful. Today, she showed us that she gets it. Yay! Time to celebrate (and keep practicing).
About Me
- King J's Queen
- I am wife to King J, mom to Princess E and step-mom to Princess B. Our kingdom includes an army of fish who strive to keep our moat free from predators. I am currently on hiatus from my career in Finance and Accounting to pursue a higher calling of homeschooling our daughter. It is the toughest, and most rewarding, job I've ever had. Our family travels frequently. It is both required and something we enjoy. Along the way, I've learned a lot about traveling well and minimizing costs. Here is where I get to share it with you. I welcome your input as well. Our family goal: We plan to visit all 50 states at least once during the first 15 years of our marriage.
