Five in a Row

We ended up NOT sending Gavin to preschool this year. After all that heart ache over where to send him, I just didn't have peace about it all when it came down to it. I also wasn't ready for the hastle it would create in our lives. I did start doing the Five in a Row curriculum with him at home. We LOVE it. Gavin is so excited about it. Everyday he wakes up and says, "Are we doing school today!?!?" It is fun. If you don't know about it, it is a curriculum that is based on children's books. You read the same book every day for a week and your lessons are based on the book. Our first week we read "The Story About Ping" by Marjorie Flack. Our lessons were about China, ducks, counting, things that float vs. things that sink, and where the sun rises and sets. We put everything we did in a lap book for review. We are past the first book, but Gavin is still talking about Ping and looking through his book quite often! Here are some pictures of our lap book.
