Back in the saddle again!

We finished the first day here at Growing Grace Academy (DD6 came home from church upset because she didn't have a name for school to write on her Bible Study Profile Sheet....so we picked GGA). Here's how our day went:

Bible - Leading Little Ones to God and Bible reading. DD6 LOVES LLOtG. She said so. This kid adores devotionals and does them every day on her own anyway, but is excited to be back doing them in school.

Math - Horizons 1. Today was a review from last year on writing numbers and counting, so no problem there.

Reading - Sonlight Int. 2 readers - Cora and the Bookwagon. I was really VERY concerned when I used SONIA (the SL choosing helper at their website) and she said Intermediate level. I was even more concerned when I got the books. I mean, there is a HUGE jump from Dr. Suess to chapter books! So last month at the library I talked DD6 into checking out a couple of the Boxcar kids books for her to try and read. I figured if she could handle those then she was very well prepared for Int. 2. She sat down and read 6 chapters in one afternoon. So, I felt better! We still have to work on not being monotone and not reading every sentence sounding like a question, but all in all, it's good.

History - People's of the World. Learned about Countries.

Read-Alouds - Charlotte's Web. A favorite of mone and no complaints from the crew!

Science - Magic School Bus at the Waterworks. DD6 ADORES MSB. She has seen just about every episode of the cartoons. The reading went really quickly and she was disturbed that we stopped halfway through!

DD4 is doing a cobbled to gether PreK program of internet worksheets, workbooks, and SL LAK.

We started at about 7:30 and were done at 9:30, so we went for a walk (recess). We would have played outside, but it rained all day yesterday (PTL!) and the ground is still very soggy. It has been nice here weatherwise, as the temps have been in the 70s and 80s. So very mild. YAY!

Anyway, that has been our day...
