I'm a geeky, homeschooling mama of 2. I really like digital technology, so I couldn't help but to teach my kids the techie stuff! I believe in integrating technology, when possible, into school lessons and preparing our kids for a digital world. More importantly, we are a Christian family and completely believe in passing our faith in Jesus Christ. Welcome to our home school- pull up a chair, grab some coffee, & welcome to our techie, Christian home :-)
Student 1
Her name, for the purposes of this blog, is NyGirl.
She is my oldest student and in the 2nd grade.
Thoughtful and inquisitive, yet very outspoken and full of questions, NyGirl is a dynamite waiting to happen.
She loves playing the piano, learning violin, singing Christian music, and listening to classical music. Her favorite music style is pop and rock.
NyGirl has quite a few special talents:
- She sings very well. Her natural vibrato and definite pitch astound me sometimes– I’m definitely going to have to post some of her songs to this blog.
- She can draw quite well– and that’s an understatement. I cannot draw a horse- even in a cartoonish fashion. NyGirl has begun drawing realistic-looking horses this month after checking out a few drawing books from the library. She also draw Veggie Tales characters REALLY well, and can pretty much draw anybody AS a Veggie Tales Character. Fun!
- She is an excellent reader. Her fluency and comprehension is, at this point (according to a few tests we’ve done) is at about the 5th grade level, give or take. This would mean nothing, in short, except that because she is such a voracious reader, it’s been extremely easy to teach NyGirl, as you might imagine. Learning just comes more naturally when you have the skills for reading.
We count this nothing short of a blessing, and I praise God every day for His blessings on her life.
