Awwww, it's fall!!

Wow is the weather great or what!!! We went to the zoo today, I waited until the weather got cooler. I'm so glad I did because it was so nice. We studied bees last week, so we went to observe them in the insect house. It was so cool. I felt so proud when Noah said "look I see one's proboscis"!! And when Abby said I wonder where the drones are!! Aaah, the sweet sounds of learning!! We started our new Bible curriculum today and I really felt like it was just what we needed. I"m so glad I decided to add that to our day. I also started Abby on a new method of learning to read and I ordered it because of how many people I had talked to that recommended it and so far I think it's really cool and I like it a lot. It's a book called teach your child to read in 100 days. I got the book on sale for twelve bucks, it's says it retails for 22!! Sonya, if you're interested (Sammy may already be reading by now, I'm not sure), but if you want I'll let you borrow it in 99 days!!! It's so totally different than any other way of teaching reading. A lot different than Noah learned. I wish I had done it with him. In the beginning it talks about all the studies done using this style and that it was far superior to other methods. The reason schools can't use it, is because it's meant to be a one on one style of teaching. Meaning you and your child sit down together for 15 minutes a day and do the lesson. You can't do it with a big group of kids or even more than one unless you do it with each kid seperately. So a teacher could never have enough time to spend 15 minutes a day with each kid. It just wouldn't work. It's supposed to bring a child up to a mid second grade reading level in just 100 days!! Stay tuned to see how well it goes!! Well I just wanted to give a quick update. I would ask if everyone would keep my brother and his family in their prayers, they're having a few issues and they don't know the Lord and I would ask that maybe you could pray that it is HE that they turn to. Thanks, and enjoy this weather, it's just awesome!!
