Ah, the wheels are beginning to turn again. My husband is back at work, and my oldest son is back at his Christian school; We were mostly at home for about 10 days after back-to-back major snow storms (one actually labeled a blizzard). We were blessed in that we only lost electricity for eight or nine hours and were plowed out fairly quickly. One homeschooling friend did not get out until yesterday since she had six-foot drifts along a quarter mile of driveway.
From an occupational therapy perspective, these snow storms benefited Samuel -- steering a sled down an snow chute in our backyard involves a fair amount of core strength, coordination, and balance especially since he has to steer by leaning. Besides, it was plain, old-fashioned fun!
I continued reading to the boys (from the Little House series) but ran out of new materials for Samuel to read aloud to me. Little House on the Prairie corresponded nicely with our history and geography because we are studying western expansion in the US.
Our big news: Samuel's little brother is beginning to sound out three-letter words! Our reading adventure continues.
