Posted in School Year Stuff

Today we started our first day of school. We got up early so that we could bring my husband to work. I needed the car because Matt had a kindergarten screening at the Supers office today.

Once we got home from taking Steve to work, Chantelle did some chores then started on her English. At 9:30, Matt and I left for the screening. They didn't even have Matt's name down on the list for kindergarten even though I spend a few weeks gathering all the junk they wanted. Maybe it is a sign that he should stay home. So anyway, we got called in and they were asking Matt to draw pictures, write his name, count blocks, jump on one foot, stuff like that. He looked so bored doing it. I thought that it was way below his level too, like preschool level stuff. This took about 10 minutes to do.

We hit the grocery store on the way home to get lunch, then I went over Chantelle's English work with her so that she would understand why she got what she got wrong and to help her fix it. She then started on a little research project for 4-H on Carbon Monoxide. She worked on that for about an hour then ate lunch.

We did the first lesson in Story of the World and I had her write out the narration questions instead of doing them orally. She is working on one of the activities from the Story of the World activity book at the moment. She is making a History of My Family book. So far she has down me, her step father Steve, my mom and dad and her gram on her biological fathers side. (Only member of that side that has contact with her.) Eventually we will add my grandparents.

We don't have her math program yet. it is still on backorder through CBD. So she will do a few pages of a grade 7 math book later on today. Tomorrow we will do a science lesson. We don't have time to do one today because I have to pick up my husband from work shortly so he can get to his doctors appointment by 3pm.
