Now THIS explains things!!!

Post by Heidi in AK » Wed Apr 25, 2012 1:40 am

First of all, we love HOD since we've been going half-speed per Mike's suggestion! We'll speed up eventually!

And regarding Shana's behavior, she's done MUCH better since I've prayerfully worked to be KIND to her rather than quick-tempered with her. How convicting homeschool has been for ME.

Also, my poor princess has 20/150 vision!!! She can't see much, and while I like her burying her nose into books, I hate that she can't see anything. Off we go tomorrow to get glasses.

Once we finish Unit 19 of LHFHG, we will do Kindergarten graduation. The logic is it leaves me 15 units that we can hopefully do and finish by Christmas, for the first half of first grade.

I'm so glad we can help Shana see better!!!

Yay! Getting their vision corrected is always a good thing. :D

I have always seen children reverse bs and ds, but when my daughter was throwing ps and qs in there with the bs and ds, I thought there might be a problem. There was! Glasses helped us too! I am glad you are finding solutions.

That's great news, Heidi! :D Glad to hear things have been improving for you. Shana will look so cute with glasses, too. :D

These are my cuties trying on Shana's new frames.  I love that John picked up a pair too and promptly put them on.  He's my empathetic one.  :)
