Great Library Find - Superhero ABC

"Learn Your ABCs with the heroes of the universe!"

During our last trip to the library GMan picked out what I initially thought was going to be a boring/cheesy book. Boy, was I WRONG! I can't tell you the number of times he read through the book, and the number of times I read the book to him. Even thought he already has solidified the sounds that each letter makes and reads quite well, he picked up so many great new words - just from the A's alone we had alien, alert and awesome. Each page was humorous, too - making the big words not seem quite so difficult.

If you have a little boy who loves superheros, this book is definitely for you - even my nine year old daughter enjoyed reading it because of the way the words tickled our tongues!

So, if you're reading this - add Superhero ABC by Bob McLeod to your library list - you will be glad!

Starting The Chronicles of Narnia

I stayed up way too late last night reading "The Chronicles of Narnia"... Miss B checked out the full collection from the library last week and is ferociously making her way through all of the books. So, I downloaded "The Magician's Nephew" and "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" on the iPad. As I started reading lots of fond memories came back to me - of reading the book in middle school, and of discussing it in a literature class. I'll be on a hunt today for lapbook resources or other fun ideas to use our study of the books.

This is a departure from our curriculum, but I say who cares? If my child checks out a lofty book from the library and sits to read it, I think it merits a pause in our curriculum to seize the day. So, today after church I think I will read some more, research options for what's out there for us to do, and plan for the week.

Have I mentioned how much I love homeschooling?
