Kids, personalities, curriculum

Ds 12 1/2

Creative, loves to draw and read, loves science. Very knowledgable of the Bible (more than me). Doesn't care much for math. Literal, corrects you if you're not exact with the facts, unless the facts could get him in trouble. Easily frustrated, somewhat of a perfectionist in some areas like drawing, but not in other areas as brushing teeth and showering. Talks quietly, unless he's excited about something.

Curr using: My Father's World, Mystery of History, Teaching Textbooks math, Abeka grammar, Calvert spelling

Fave: MFW and MOH (and he said art if we'd start doing it more...)



Dd 7

You can tell she's a girly girl with brothers. Loves being a girl, and the ONLY girl but also has fun digging in the dirt, sword fighting, and other thing the boys are playing. Very sweet (we were once on a mom/daughter outing and she told me, "I want to do this when I'm older, shop and talk about things with you, just the girls." ) Is great with numbers and likes math. Loves to draw and can draw people and horses VERY well!! She's a talker! Prefers colorful workbooks, doesn't care for read-aloud science...

Curr using: MFW 1st, Abeka phonics and math

Fave: math



Ds 5 1/2

Strong-willed. Loud unless he's being sneaky. Hands-on definately... takes things apart, has fun tearing a piece of paper into little pieces, has fun teasing, tries our patience! BUT can be 'THE SWEETEST' guy!!! He's my teddy bear. Loves to snuggle; tells me, "I love you mom, you're really pretty, etc" And will put my hair behind my ears! Loves to listen to Bible studies and worship music on the radio.

Curr using: Mind Building math, Explode the Code (will be moving to something else in the fall)

Fave: right now learning to read using Alpha Phonics like sissy used



DS 3 1/2

Such a happy guy! My big boy! (he and my 5yo share clothes-very handy!) He's funny, has a great sense of humor! He laughs at Pink Panther, Tom and Jerry, more than the other kids or us adults. He is just so fun! Soft-hearted. He's quick to laugh with you, smile at you, makes great 3 yr old jokes. He has recently been showing a streak of defiance. Loves to play spiderman/superman dress up, and sometimes sissy gets him to play princess with her. )

Curr using: fun little workbooks

Fave: rods and blocks (very creative, quick duplicating the picture in bk)



Perfect curr for them? ...their favorites.
