Plan for a Second Day of Homeschooling

First, I want to put together a plan for a week. Yes, I starting homeschooling without a plan!


Math: Counting Backward from 20, Subtracting from 11, Counting by 5 up to 100

Spelling: Learn how to spell and write words:  Shirt Shoe Dress Pants Sock
I really liked the reviews of several Spelling programs, such as All About Spelling and Abeka Spelling, but financially restrained from purchasing their workbooks. Thus, I have decided to follow this website instead and will continue to look for more enriching manuals.

Reading: A. sets her own goal each week and this week she set 20 min for daily reading. She absolutely loves reading!

Language: Our goal is to complete 5 lessons from the First Language Lessons this week.

Writing: Our goal is to complete 4 lessons from the Writing With Ease this week.

History: Our goal is to complete Chapter 1 from The Story of the World this week.

Science: Our goal is to complete 1 lesson from A Reason For Science Level A

Piano/Typing: I am not ready at all to teach piano this week, so we will have 1 typing lesson.

Composers/Art: not yet



Tomorrow I will be guided by this schedule: 

8:00 Scripture, Song, Prayer
8:15 Math:

•  1 sheet from Gifted and Talented workbook (A. loves this book, because activities are not so challenging and pages are very neat and colorful.)
• 1 sheet Subtracting from 11 (A. is very good in subtracting from 10 and somewhat good from up to 20. She recently told me that the math was too hard when doing 2nd Grade Work, so we decided to slow down a bit and work on subtracting from 11). 
• 
• 1 sheet Counting by 5 (just found a fun sheet on google images)
• Counting by 5 Song Video 
• Connect the Dots Picture (Pronouncing each number, go backwards from the highest number 20.)

8:45 Finish history lesson - Introduction - and complete her Family Book. Start on the 1st Chapter.
9:15 Language Lesson 2. (1st poem to memorize! We will see how that goes.)
9:40  Story Time at Barnes & Noble (where we will complete our reading for the day after the story time), pick up brother, and lunch.

12:00 Writing Day 2 exercises.
12:20 Spelling Words - typing?
12:40 Science lesson for both kids. I will do a Sight Sense tomorrow (bright light, darkness, coming out into the light, closing one eye at the time and what do you see on the picture? does the picture move when you switch eyes?)
  Looking Through a Hole experiment is very fun! That's how it goes: You take a average size picture and cover it with a blank larger piece of paper with a hole in it. Kids can move the black piece of paper around, trying to guess what do they see a picture of.

Naps!
