That is the book we are listening to while in the car. It is one of my favorite books as a kid. And believe me there aren’t many on that list. For some reason, I really took to Mrs. L’Engles books as I read them all. I was much older than Martha is now: probably almost 8 years older but oh well. She is understanding what is going on. Today, they talked about the tesseract (which is what they call the 5th dimension). They described the first 4 dimensions. Martha and I discussed the first 3 today. And she can tell you what they are, and draw you or show you an example of the first 3 dimensions. I am pretty impressed because I would think that was a pretty far fetched concept for a 5 year old. But tonight for dinner, she showed her father examples of all 3!
I also started rethinking reading skills. And we are going back and starting from scratch with sounds. And I am using an Abeka reading lesson book as well as another book I found at the homeschool center! I think Martha will like it if she will give it half a chance.
She also likes to illustrate stories. So I am going to see if I can find Big Empty letters maybe from WordWorld that she can color or decorate, illustrate a story with!
I have some flash cards and brain quest cards with me to take to Costa Rica with me. The kids are so excited about going! So are we. So I need to get off the computer to sort the packing!
