SPELLING UPDATE

I have added the Spelling Plus Dictation sentences back into Little Girl's daily work.  But she will be typing them instead of writing them, and doing them as prepared dictation, like the Spelling Wisdom.  This will give her extra practice with common words, and I also like the way the sentences spiral, giving her more practice with individual words than Spelling Wisdom does.  She is doing great with both, and rarely misses a word.

DROPPING SPANISH

Well, we have decided to drop Spanish, for now at least.  With no real use for it, and no opportunity to actually use it, we can make much better use of the time it would take us to constantly review vocabulary cards and rules that we have no use for.  I know there are other benefits to learning a foreign language, but I feel that we can get those benefits in other ways that don't take so much time, such as root study.
