I knew last year when I started Charlie in kindergarten, she would really want to be in there. So I decided that I would just school her with Charlie. They would both start kindergarten together. She was 4 1/2 but I said if it got to be too much for her, too frustrating, etc. I would just back off and give her something else to do. There were frustrations but not because it was too tough for her, just because there are frustrations in homeschooling.
She actually did really well and learned to read with Charlie. So this year, even though Iris is technically in kindergarten for the state's records, they are both doing 1st grade work.
Well her big sister is a voracious reader. I can't keep up with the books she's read and how many times she's read them.
One day Iris came downstairs and plopped herself on the couch with this book.
Another day she went out on the porch...
...to read with the chicken...
...like her big sister.

Great job girls and Mom.....I love you girls.
Ah, I love these "reading" pictures! Especially the one of Iris and the chicken. Hee. Hee. And, I think one of the blessings of homeschooling is "age doesn't matter." *smile* Alisa is 4 years old and asked me to teach her to read this year. I hadn't planned on it, but she is doing beautifully!
And, thank you for the soup recipe. YUM! It makes SO much we ate it for lunch 3 days in a row. =)
