It has been a good, and productive day overall... everything we did was a big hit! We started the day a little late, with delicious smoothies and muffins, then went from there...
Math - They tried out Teaching Textbooks with great success
Language Arts - Cyrus loves his new writing program, and he did a page in Word Roots. Cassia worked in Spelling Workout (SWO) and on Starfall. I am not starting MCP Phonics until we hit lesson 6 in SWO since it is at that point that the lessons match up.
Science - They sketched pictures of onion cells at 100x and 400x. Cyrus filled out his experiment page as well.
History - I read aloud from the Kingfisher History Encyclopedia. Cyrus worked on his timeline, and both started making their History Pockets for ancient civilizations.
Literature - We finished chapter 5 in The Wind in the Willows.
Both kids said they are glad to be back to "real homeschooling." We'll see how long the joy lasts!
You are amazing. As usual!! I am always inspired by the wonderful things you have going on at your "real homeschool." Congrats on starting the new year!
ReplyDeleteYou know, there's not much accomplished the first week at a traditional school. Way to go, G! The smiles are worth everything!
