very timely, indeed
Fridays I plan to work out of our health books, some Fridays I don't...(another hazard of being Jenn) But, mostly I do plan to tackle our health readers from Abeka.

This is a page from Health, Safety, & Manners reader 1- chosen because Amie is my new reader, Teddy is my struggling OPD reader, and Demi is coming along nicely-but not a prodigy reader.
I chose the grade 1 reader hoping I could have all 3 read portions out-loud..look, it's a reading lesson, too! (I love to multi-task when I can)

Friday was all about serendipity for me, because just the day before-I hauled Demi into the bathroom and initiated him into the rite of using the nail- brush
..because
I.Just.couldn't.look.anymore.

And, he was preparing to leave for his piano lesson and I didn't think I could subject his poor teacher to the state of his nails. I then got onto amazon and ordered him his own blue nail brush, so he wouldn't have to keep using mine. I ordered one for the girls, too.

Friday's lesson was just perfect, I couldn't have ordered a better one if I tried.

The next page is even better, it has 5 black & white nail brushes and they are supposed to color on in every day that they have clean nails.

I heart Abeka sometimes! (sigh)

We have used some Abeka health books. For us, it's difficult to get much actual learning done with them, because my kids think the pictures and text are so hokey that they are always cracking up. (I have to admit they are right. Pictures of teenage girls playing volleyball in PE skirts looks silly)

yes, they do have this 50's nostalgia quality about them...I kind of find that weirdly comforting. Yet, I laughed long and loud over the photos and advice about dressing and hair styles in the high school text. It is pretty clear they haven't updated that text yet...snort.
