Home School, Day 1

Whoopee!!! First Day of School Today!!!

Because we returned from our trip to Ohio yesterday night, I let the kids sleep in just a bit and we started our home school day a little out of order.

• R did Language Arts, Day 1: sections 1 & 2. That took most of the morning to do. (From 9-12)
• After E had her breakfast, she started on her workbooks.
• Then we did our Bible story, Genesis 1-2, and the kids colored a page that went along with it.
• After that I worked on E with her reading lesson. She did well with sounding out the letters, but had a hard time writing a lower-case m and s. Those letters are pretty difficult for a beginner, anyways. After that, Emily was done!
• After lunch, R and I worked on his first Math lesson, which was some easy review. He probably doesn't need to review it, but it's good for me to start getting the feel for the lessons.
• After that, we did Science, which was a basic overview of the book and discussion of Creation and he had to memorize Genesis 1: 1-5. He definitely did not like memorizing such a long passage, but he did get through it! Then I had him copy it down, to practice handwriting. He was finished by 1:45!

It was a good day and I definitely need to do a little bit of preperation for tomorrow's lessons, so it will run a bit smoother.
