This comes a couple weeks earlier than the end of second semester, but I have an empty week here due to March Break, and I don’t have one later, so here we are.
I am extremely pleased with how well homeschooling went this semester.
The worksheets were a great success, and I won’t be changing how they worked. Pegasus loves the math worksheets especially. I’m happy that removing the tracing printing and counting worksheets turned out so well. Pegasus was getting annoyed with them and I wasn’t enjoying the fight. This whole year is supposed to be fun!
I have also lowered the amount of cooking that we’re doing. He loves baking, but cooking is too boring. (And he’s scared of burning himself. We’ll have to figure out how to help him get over that fear.)
The biggest struggle we’ve got is convincing Pegasus to speak French. He seems convinced that he can’t do it, exactly like his sister. Although he knows individual words, he can’t seem to pick them out when people are talking to him, and he doesn’t try to meld them into sentences on his own either. We’re just continuing to soldier on.
He has taken quite well to reading, when I break words down into syllables. This is with both French and English reading.
