All about Reading

I've been looking into tons of different curriculum for next year and I'm so excited about finding All about Reading!!!  It looks amazing and fun for Adam.  He has such a problem with comprehension, and I think this program will work perfectly.



                                                    I'm going to purchase level 2

to finish out this school year and I'm hoping we will finish before the following year begins.  If not we will complete it and then start on level 3.

I haven't purchased the reading interactive kit yet, but I will be getting it next!! 

I'm so excited and cannot wait for it to coming..... hoping by the end of the week.


If you've used or are using All about Reading..... please let me know what you think about it.

Thank you so much,
Robyn

Getting healthy!

I've been using the trampoline and treadmill everyday - tomorrow will be a week 😄. Today I had a banana and yogurt for breakfast, tuna and crackers and an orange for lunch, dinner chicken salad and rice.  Lots of water!!!  

A new year - a new me!

I'm starting this new year with a goal to lose weight and get healthy!!!  I've been using my treadmill and eating healthy.  I'm loving it!  I join a beachbody club on facebook - my cousin is in charge of the group.  She had us all make sweat cash jars, when we lose a pound - put a quarter or dollar in!!  I'm hoping to get this jar filled and buy new smaller clothes!!! 

 

Wish me luck in my weight lose adventure!!!  I will be updating daily on my loss😄

Here's my before picture:

Adam 10th birthday!!!

Today is my son, Adam's 10th birthday!!!! 


The time went so fast, but I loved every minute of being his momma!!!!  I'm sure the next ten will go just as fast :(  haha I can wait for the teenage years!!!!!!!  We will be busy most of the day preparing gift bags and wrapping presents then having dinner at Pizza Hut :)  My husband will be gone for a couple weeks, so we are waiting for him to come back to have the party.  I sure hope this doesn't confuse Adam, well I think he'll be excited to celebrate for two months!!!

Taking the day off

Taking the day off to go to the dentist.  Not my favorite place at all!!! Hoping for a quick painless visit!!! The waiting is the worst haha!! Just sitting here waiting for someone to dig around on your mouth and point out what you need done :). Smiles - I hope everyone is having an awesome day!  It's beautiful outside, but it's calling for rain by the end if the week.

Lazy Sundays

Having a relaxing Sunday with my family. Husband and son are busy watching tv.  I'm sewing Adam a couple pairs of pants for school.  I didn't know how to see until Adam needed me too!  He has such a sensitive problem with clothes.  I'm hoping he outgrows it or is able to wear jeans in a few years.  I can only make one style now an they remind me of my grandpa and his favorite pants haha!  They are comforable and easy to wear, but not in style at all.  But they are fine for second grade.  I might just take a class!!!

I'm also putting items in my wishlist for TpT!! Loving all the stores having sales this weekend!!!

I hope everyone is having a great day!

Adams first day of school!

My nephew and his bride :)

Congratulations to my nephew and his bride, they just got married in Vegas!!!

So cute and to true!!

Adams new shoes

So excited to see the mailman today!!!! Adam will only wear crocs and the bottoms are always slippery.  But I found these sweet crocs on amazon!!! The bottoms are just like tennis shoes.  They are much better for gym, I am on cloud nine!!!

My pet peeve on "the autistic kid"

I have been reading some blogs about autism today.  All of the blogs were interesting and  informative with good ideas.  But my biggest pet peeve is someone saying "the autistic kid"   - come on, are you seriously going to use that label????   I have a child with autism and he is just that - a child with autism.  Not the autistic child.

For those of you reading this and not understanding what the differences is - here are a couple examples:

1. the diabetes kid                  or a child with diabetes
2. the cancer kid                    or a child with cancer
3. the heart problem kid        or a child with a heart problem

Now do you see what I am trying to say?

The health,  mental, social, physical challenges/problems with children should not be the definition of a child.  When I think of Adam - there are hundreds of characteristics that come to mind before autism.  And I hope all of the people in his life feel the same way about him. 

Well this ends my little soap box rant.  I'm off to put Legos together with ADAM.

Getting posters and work stations ready

I've been very busy this week getting ready for school to start!!  I have my clock area set up laminated, so we can write on it.  The sight words are very easy to change the laminating sheets for new words and I love the crayon!!!  I'm using a picture frame with a write on sheet in it, so I can write the homework and erase it daily.  

I will be working on the spelling words area and storytown next!!!  I love having everything where we can easily see it and know what is going on throughout the week.

Our family rules

I just finished making this poster for our family rules.  I put it in the kitchen, so it will be seen the most.  It was there or the bathroom haha!  Adam has finally started repeating swear words!! Grrrr his teachers are not going to like this, especially since the worst one is his favorite.  We have been hanging with a lot of people who swear, he's heard it on the computer and TV and from family.  I'm hoping we can cut down the rude words before August 28th when school starts!!! fingers crossed.
