Personal Comments: Overall good year. I am very pleased with the amount of literature and readings covered in Tapestry of Grace, though I will not use it in the upcoming year. The best thing this year was getting a Latin Tutor for weekly questions or concerns that my daughter had. My daughter put in a lot of hard work with a busy and demanding schedule that included sports and travel.

We were able to stick to the schedule for the most part. We didn’t get to science as much as I would have liked. We also occasionally used Saxon K for a few concepts. We are currently on the Singapore Earlybird Kindergarten 2A (two pages left). We will move on to 2B and work through the summer. We had a lot of fun with Art. It has been great seeing my little artist flourish.
Abeka Phonics has worked great with my little one. She enjoys the extras, and has grasped the concepts easily. It has been challenging because I have to pick through some of the material since it is designed for the classroom, but it is working well. I have occasionally used OPGTR to supplement in some areas. She is reading well. I am happy with her progress thus far. This has been a fun and exciting year teaching a little one. :-)
