It's amazing that Anna has completed an entire second grade homeschooling curriculum in less than nine months. She worked very hard and learned so many new things. We would be lying if we said that homeschooling was a walk-in-the-park. But, as with anything challenging, you receive so much more satisfaction and reward when you successfully complete it.
We used the Sonlight Curriculum and loved it. It offered a lot of variety in subject matter and Anna enjoyed the Christian-based curriculum. We also loved the one-on-one reading time we had with her. Anna learned to improve her writing skills. Here is a sample of her writing. She is given a picture (notice the boy in the bell). She then uses her imagination and writes a story about the picture. We were pretty impressed with this story.
When we packed up for home, her books totaled 75 pounds! Even more impressive is that she read all of them. Homeschooling was an invaluable experience for both Anna and us.
