Learning and Growing

Here is a glimpse into our days. 

 

 Here Kyndal is working on her Math.  She worked really hard through the month of September and finished more then half of her Math from grade 3.  Math is the subject that she finds the most frustrating and has to work the hardest at, many times not wanting to put in that work.  But this month she made a goal and had a good reward that guided her through the month.  She did it, completed over 70 lessons, plus quizzes, etc. in one month!  She did so well and we were all so happy to get it done and have the month be over.  What progress she made through this process, she knew she couldn't give up and was driven to work through when it was hard.  She grew in leaps and bounds with her math!!

 Elliette is working on some math as well.  She has done really well in math so far, at times working on the same grade 3 math as Kyndal.  She has really grown in her reading confidence lately.  She has been reading slightly above grade level, but the last while something just clicked in her confidence.  She realized that she can do it, and so will sit down on her own, on occasion, and begin reading a chapter book.

 Elliette also lost her second tooth.  I love these grins all with empty spaces.  He top ones are wiggly as well as another bottom one so that smile will be missing more soon!

Dawsyn has been really proud of herself for doing this puzzle all by herself.  I love to see this discovery of abilities that they didn't know they had.  She is quite independent and loves to be able to have done it without any prompting or help of any kind.  These girls are just so great and I am glad for these times that I can really appreciate how amazing they are and how grateful I am for where we are at in our lives.  Moments of perspective and gratitude are so helpful!  I sure love my life!
