~English~

The English notebook is finally complete.  It took me a bit longer than expected.  We've been REALLY busy, our family business is up double from last year, and I've been working a whole lot.  It's been an amazing blessing watching our customer base grow, but it's been a struggle too since we don't have the man power to deal with it.  It just means for us that we have to work harder.  I pray every day for patience because even though working harder and longer might be something we are getting better at, when we get home I have less patience to deal with messes and children.  God is being gracious and helping me through this and He is so good.  The Lord has given me a patient husband and forgiving children who help me to slow down when the sin creeps in.  I am incredibly thankful for this!

Some really great news!!!  I just got a new computer!  The Classical Conversations Facebook community is the most amazing ever.  I am so grateful to all of you!  You have blessed me soo much.  It is a beautiful i7 pp and a bunch of other specs I know nothing about but my husband tells me is awesome.  It works amazing, and I am loving using my new publisher program also.  So thank you so much to all of you who helped me afford this!  There was no way I would be able to continue this passion without it!

Now what you really want to see, the new English notebook.  I am pretty excited about this.  I have 3 kids who will be using the notebook this year, one child who reads decently for a 4 year old but barely writes, one who reads slowly but writes beautifully and loves cutting (she's 5), and one who reads better than I can, writes decently for a 7 year old but loathes cutting.  SO these pages are for them, I wanted to be able to tailor these notebooks to be something they enjoy.  I NEVER want our notebook time to be drudgery.  It is supposed to be fun, engaging, and simple.

These notebook pages have the information, a coloring page, and a simple activity.  Created for my 4 year old.

This is the same as the previous, but a little more challenging- my 5 year old will fill in the blank with the word that fits. 

My 5 year old truly loved the English flip books last year so I wanted her to be able to have a whole year of mini books.

A print option, for those who don't do cursive yet

A section of activity pages for 4-6 year olds.  Lots of cut/paste, some coloring pages, a bit of writing with all primary lines.

Then a whole section of more challenging puzzles for the older children.  There aren't any cut and paste pages, just all activity.

Another example of a more challenging activity for the older ones.  Made for my 7 year old, but good for older kids too. 

I am so glad to be able to share them with you.  They are going to be a lot of fun for my kiddos, and I hope your children enjoy them as much as mine do!
