One month into our school this week. Heart of Dakota is still going strong for us!
Last year just getting school done was work. I dreaded it the kids dreaded it and many times I took the easy road.
This year the struggle I am having is fitting in a daily curriculum into my get out of the house for school style . So far just being relaxed and not stressing about what unit and day we are on compared to school days is working (unit or week 4 day 3 in case anybody is wondering
Cheerful cursive and happy handwriting
Both girls use these books and they love them!I love that they are not writing on a dotted line but filling in a letter. It has helped both with their confidence while improving their handwriting.
Dreambox learning.
Okay so we are still just working on the trial, and to be honest I usually do not like to put the kids on the computer. It is 20 bucks a month which I thought was high before getting the free trial now I know ill pay it. It is not a math game like others it actually explains to the players how and why to solve EACH problem even if they get it right. I think I read on the website and it seems very true that they try make the most use out of each instructional moment.
So in summary one month into it and the kids are learning and growing. We are all still happy. I'll call that a win.
