Kindergarten

we have officially started school. Zack announced that he already knows his letters and the sounds so he wanted to start reading. So I started his first reading lesson. I'm using the Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading and we did his first lesson- the short a sound with d,t,m,and n at the end. So he learned an,am, ad, and at. Today we reviewed the same lesson and by the end of the lesson he added a consonant to the front thus c-v-c and he read the word M-A-D. Then I could tell he reached his max and we moved to another job- working on some puzzles while I taught them some memory work. We are using the Veritas Press timeline cards with the Classical Conversations program. So the boys have learned the first six cards and some of the History/Bible sentences. They seem to enjoy their "work".
