The End of 1st Homeschooling Week

It was a very busy week. We had four days of school with A. and we had to spend Friday on getting ready for J.'s Birthday Party on Saturday (which was a success!).

We did not finish what we planned on completing, which I am fine with. We are still getting used to the homeschooling schedule and just a habit of bring disciplined and studious. We keep referring to the set schedule though, and continue doing our work. When we are not done with our work before we need to pick J. up from his preschool, we finish after naps (or instead of naps. Unfortunately, kids have been skipping naps a lot lately. Our Utah trip has significantly changed our daily schedule and habits.).

I gave A. a chance to do her "Subtract from 11" worksheet twice and on the second day she did marvelously quickly! So, I let her color the stars of the Fact Family members and she was so quick and just did great.

Language and Writing are going well as well. She loves her history lessons. I tried doing the same history lesson with an actual 2nd grader (he just barely started) and the boy had no patience to listen to me, he kept interrupting me, and he couldn't answer on any of the questions really. This is very impressive that A. snuggles up to me on the couch and listens to her history lesson! She answers almost on all the questions correctly and she is eager to participate in the projects! This week we completed a Family History book and drew a cave painting.

I have received more books this week. We will be starting our Science curricula.

On Tuesday we will be hunting through our local libraries for Artists and Composers books.
