I am updating everyone to announce a website I’m opening up that I’ve kept for some time now to myself as I was building it. I never thought of publishing our educational progress but the more I’ve used it the more I realize it might be interesting to others too. So I’ll be posting a […]
It has been a month since Lily has been united with her service dog Timber. Below you will find links to the updates so that you can read the changes that are happening and be a part of the joy that are lives are experiencing. I hope you enjoy reading. To view the […]
I have compiled together new information that reflects where Lily is right now in June 2015. Please take some time to visit Lily’s Story page and find the new post there named Lily’s Story: Part 3 or click this link. Additionally, I have gathered notes about skills in general that Lily has been successful in […]
We want to thank you. Except we don’t just want to thank you. We want to wrap our arms around you & give you back the kindness you’ve given us. Every donation received is appreciated. I never thought we could get this far. And here we are a month away from something Lily has waited […]
The time has come. Next month we are traveling North to meet and bring home our daughters new life long companion, her autism service dog.
Lily has lifted her voice. She sings. And now she speaks. I’ll say it again. Lily speaks.
We would like to thank you for your recent donations towards Lily’s service dog. The time is approaching & soon she will meet which dog will become her new partner. We will keep you posted.
Some work in July will be in this post. I will work harder in the future to add more to the website versus my ledger books as a hard copy. Work we have accomplished has revolved around spelling and phonemes. We’ve been reviewing basic skills in workbooks and including our Lifepac studies as extra work […]
Seems as though this virus we are all experiencing has slowed down the process of my documenting the activity I have been doing with the girls. It has not been as structured as our usual routine as we have had to change things around a bit in other areas of our lives. But we are […]
The last of our focus has been on word study, phonics and reading comprehension. We’ve been working on lots of reading material where stories and paragraphs are read of different types of reading material and then questions are answered afterwards to ensure comprehension of what is being read. I find that breaking down stories has […]
The girls have been finishing up their green series language series in Montessori and working on their new computers online with Lexia Learning for Language. We’ve been working on handwriting skills in our notebooks for math in areas such as addition and subtraction, multiplication and division. We’ve combined the green series language with our spelling […]
I’ll start with a few things from last year that I can’t remember if I’ve recorded yet as the holidays took up most of my posting time in the evenings so everything remained handwritten. The end of last year was a major focus on math and short stories. We have been working on handwriting for […]
Lily is 4 years old now. Many things have changed since Lilybird’s Freedom was created. Lily still has Apraxia of Speech. We have started her at a special school which specifically treats Apraxia with multi-sensory techniques that include learning to read, write & speak at the same time. It is widely known as the Association Method. […]
