TOG Y1R U4 Week 33

We are all, me included, anxiously awaiting the end our our school. This will mark the end of our first year using Tapestry of Grace. I am very much pleased that the LORD brought us to this curriculum. There is a lot more I wanted to do with it, but our year is what it is. There are many things you have to let go when you are homeschooling with a baby and a preschooler. I am looking forwarding to beginning my plans for next year - the Middle Ages through the Constitution.

Princess L
I'm trying to decide when we will begin her MFW Kindergarten. I'm planning to take two years for this, unless she takes off and wants to do more. But I'm also considering starting her this summer. That way we can get into a grove before I have to start in with the other girls.

Princess M
Her vocabulary is growing. I'm figuring out more and more what she is trying to say. Her pronunciation is not very good if I compare her to Princess E, who was speaking in three word sentences by 18 months. But, there are other things she is able to do that. Her determination to do everything her big sisters does is huge.

I will try to get a short video of Princess L's performance posted, if I can figure out how to make it smaller.
