If anyone is still wondering.. YES, we are still doing our homeschool work DAILY with Jordyn. I am just 7 weeks behind on posting for the blog. With Caleb unexpectedly arriving almost 2 weeks early, which was wonderful and God ordained, I was already 3 weeks behind posting and now I feel a little overwhelmed. I want to continue documenting our homeschool experience. I have over 60 pictures per blog to edit and upload along with loads of videos. However, with a newborn demanding 99% of my attention and Jordyn demanding about 98%, it is safe to say that the blog has taken a bit of a back seat. With all this said, I will be posting pictures, with commentary, on a "can do" basis for some time to catch up. Which I hate, because I had wanted to look back later and see a timeline of when things occurred. Oh well, we have enjoyed school so much, and the amount of material she is learning is mind-boggling. We are currently on week 13 of homeschool.
Here is what she knows based on various assessments:
Jordyn has learned or has shown she has learned:
- Uppercase Letters (Identify them and tell their sounds)
- Lowercase Letters
- Can match the lowercase with the uppercase (80% of the time)
- Identifying Numbers 1-10
- Counting 1-10 (90% of the time)
- Identifying shapes: including oval, hexagon, diamond, moon.
- All basic colors
- Words to many worship songs
- Can recite Bible Verses: Matt. 22:37, Psalms 139:14, 1 Thess. 2:14, Gen. 1:1
Jordyn needs work on
- 1:1 Correspondence
- Counting to 20
- Social Skills (when she gets lots of attention from others she doesn't know how to handle it) Especially at church
- A kind heart
Please pray, with us, that when God said,
Eze 36:25-27 " I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.", that He included our little Jordyn and Caleb in that promise.
