Box Day! (part 1)

I ordered from Adoremus Books and Rainbow Resource. The Rainbow Resource order came first (I ordered it a day later). The other order has shipped, but it's coming USPS, so who knows when it will be here.

The RR order included:

Getty-Dubay Italics books A, C, and Write Now (the adult book)
Singapore Essential Math K books A and B
Singapore Challenging Word Problems 2
Zaccaro's Primary Challenge Math
Apologia Zoology 1
Apologia Zoology 2
Apologia Astronomy

The Brute was thrilled to get the Apologia books. He calls them the "Animals on Green Mountain books" because when we walked on Green Mountain, they had a poster of various animals (most of them not on Green Mountain). Sometimes the things he says are too cute to correct. ;) He was so happy to find the "flying dinosaurs" (pterosaurs) in Zoo 1 and the sharks in Zoo 2. Tornado Boy was enthralled by the Astronomy book. We'll need to do a lesson from that soon!

Tornado Boy and I are both looking forward to learning italics with our new handwriting books. The Brute will wait a bit to start his book, as he's not quite ready yet. We need to do some zig-zag practice first.

The Brute can finally start math again, now that we have a book that will likely work better for us than Rightstart A did. He liked the 5 pages he did so far this afternoon. :)

Tornado Boy got to do one problem from CWP this afternoon and enjoyed that. He LOVES word problems. Seriously loves them. Hopefully these will give him the little extra challenge he needs.
