2006-2007 School Year

The girls are doing a great job this year. They are taking French, gymnastics, ballet, swimming, piano, and participating in the Victory Sports League. It's soccer season with VSL right now. They bought their first shin guards. Ariella is reading very well and interested in books. Adira surprised us thus far by finishing The Trumpet of the Swan and Anne of Green Gables (the long version). Ariella is almost swimming the overhand stroke. She is still riding bike with training wheels, so it's my goal to get her riding without them before she is 6. Ariella has matured during the last 3 months. She is speaking clearly and holding conversations. She loves to draw, and is very good at printing letters. Her spelling is improving. I'm so happy with their development and enthusiasm for learning.

This year they are doing:

Bob Jones Math
Reason for Spelling
Rod and Staff Grammar
Explode the Code
Spiritual Character
Beautiful Feet History
Art here and there
Reading everyday
