Tools used for teaching reading

These are some books we used this year in teaching Koby and Camryn how to read. The techniques taught in the Writing Road to Reading are great. I highly recommend these methods.

Koby our little artist

There was a bird outside of our window that was injured. Koby caught him a couple times. It stayed there long enough for Koby to draw him. Koby is such a good artist. I am so impressed with him.

Scenes from our class room

We don't have a specific room in the house that we call our classroom. We have held school in our TV room, in our kitchen, in our living room, in our car, and outside. Somedays were harder than others with the children's additude and desire to do their school work, but over all it has been so much fun.

A day in the snow with friends

f

We had a snow day with our friends the Sluders. It was lots of fun slidding down their hill infront of their home. The weather was super cold that day. We all played outside until we couldn't stand it any longer. Ryan and Jon snow mobiled through the fields in back of the house. It was a fun day thanks Sluders!

The Polar Express

We had a really neat opportunity with Ryan's work to go serve some children at the North Pole. We boarded the children on the Polar Express after there tickets were punched. While we traveled to the North Pole the story of the Polar Express was being read to the children. The kids we were serving were really sick. For some this might be there last Christmas. They have cancer and other diseases that make them really sick. It was fun watching our children handing gifts out to the children after they sat on Santa's lap. It was such a wonderful experience for our family.
