Kristin Thames wife and mother of 4, with a background in social and human services, early childhood education and early childhood growth and development. "Teaching, learning and developing my children's ability to be highly functional and successful adults" By keeping them at the top of their game academically, teaching them finances, the value of good credit, real estate and more. Doing all of this while maintaining our busy schedules. But by far my favorite part of this journey is the one on one bonding time with my children and the memories we create as a family, and of course they are learning skills they need for life!!!!!! Teaching my 3 young children the @thamessquad and my oldest son a high schooler through supplemental homeschool all still working full time! At a real job not sales, or working from home! I'll share my tips on how you can start homeschooling today without having to quit your job if you don't want to or can't afford to!! With the supplemental home school tool kit.

Today's Lesson is continuing with our phonics curriculum Chico is working on Aa,Bb,Cc,Dd and Ee I will be giving him an assessment the end of this week having him write those letters independently from his memory without the use of his workbooks. Mason is working on his reading and putting sentences together using his sight words that we review daily. Chico is also being introduced to small signal words (a, I) and when I read to them I have him find those words in our stories. Kamryn is working on signing the alphabet song as well as using fine motor skills places stickers of the letters on colorful construction paper.
