(Early Tuesday)

The curriculum finally arrived! I got both the A Beka and the Handwriting Without Tears. I am going to do the HWT all this week, then I'll start in on the A Beka. Both approach handwriting in a completely different way, UGH! In just one session of working with the manipulatives in the HWT kit, Alex's writing is much improved! I just couldn't believe it! We sing the song, "When you want to write a letter, start at the top" song (to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It") constantly, and he just loves that. I love the wood pieces because Alex seems to work best when he can handle a manipulative then apply what he has learned.

Well, school starts in 10 mins, gotta finish my coffee now!
