So far with liliana...

Well. There are many things about home schooling that I am looking forward to.
Right now with liliana this is what we do. She will be 3 in a month. She earns computer time everyday (the most she spends on the computer is 1hr, it is more like 30 mins.) and we have 5 sites (so far) that we like and she can use. So she has her own desktop on the computer so that while on it she cannot destroy any programs or hard drive stuff, she can only access these 5 programs (all internet based). She uses starfall (which she enjoys but is getting bored with), PBS kids (she 'plays' the curious george games having to do with memorizing, addition, and recognition skills), Discover kids (she plays matching games, and watches Bindi the Jungle girl go out with dolphins, crocs, etc...), I also use the Time for Kids site (I print off worksheets geared toward her level (they have k-8) and lesson plans for various subjects that give me facts to share with her, actvities to reinforce the facts and projects to do, etc...) She participates in a playgoup once a week for a few hrs. where each mom takes a turn teaching a mini-lesson and facilitating the kids (3 yr olds) through a craft (sometimes fun, sometimes edible). There are some things she used to do before I got pregnant and lost more brain cells. She remembers doing 'cards' with me and still ask if we can do them, even though it has been a year since her last time. I make her reading cards where the letters are big enough to where she can read them (the print in books is just to small for little kids' vision level) and we have math cards (where she learns how to recognize quantity, instead of having to count one at a time). Both of these skills are important to me and I want to get her math/reading cards started up again.It just takes more of my time to get them ready for the week (it only take 15mins/day to go through them with her). So that is where we are. Well we are also still teaching her more signs, which she would learn more of if we showed her more. She was given a signing movie for christmas from her grandparents and already has that memorized from watching it 3 times. Sometimes we check out signing books from the library that she goes through with jacob (as it is, jacob cannot put her in her bed at night and shut the door without standing in the doorway and systmatically going through a series of 5 signs that are her favorite (hippo,airplane,ilove you, kangaroo, and something else, I cant remember) but she will just fall apart if he tries to shut her door without doing her signs.
Our education goals for liliana for this year include learning how to read (on her own), math skills (addition,subtration,greater than,lesser than), learning how to put a sentence together with just signs, and learning whatever facts she finds interesting (all of the 'why' questions that have already started) (like why did heavenly father put the moon in the sky?)
I would appreciate any help with all of this. It really does take several people to educate a child.
As for Mattie, by the end of the year we would like her to have learned several communication signs, and social skills) I cant believe I will have a one year old by the end of the year...
so that is where we are.
