Sep. 4, 2007 - I survived the 1st day of school!!!!
Okay people it went well! Yes I went through the 1st day of homeschooling and I am still here to tell you all about it. I lived............................Okay I digress from my dramatics but seriously it went well.
What did we do all day? Well we started off with prayer/devotion/bible. We read Matthew chapter 1 where I had to read it to them to avoid certain questions that I choose not to answer right now. i.e. mom whats a virgin? It's someone who hasn't had sex yet. Well what exactly is sex? I don't want that conversation right now not with a 6 and an 8 year old.....
We looked at the family tree of Jesus and had a 5 finger pray. Then we had writing where they were told to memorized Ephesians 6:1-3 and yesterday was the day they were supposed to know it. I had them write that neatly and do a capital and lowercase 'e' writing paper. While they were writing I did school with babygirl (2 on Tuesday) and we used Debi Pearls "ABC bible verses and talked about the letter A. I read her a story about a Cow and she colored the letter A.
Now it was time for history/geography where we all talked about Labor day and why we have it as well as the upcoming grandparents day. I had them make cards for all their grandparents. Which, because of divorce and remarriage, there are 4 grandmas and 3 grandpas. (long story) So they had 4 cards to make. After that I put baby girl down for a nap and the two oldest children and I worked on phonics.
After Phonics I split them up for math and then it was time for lunch. We did not have science since our Apologia zoology book hasn't gotten here yet. Our ABEKA reading books got here just in time as we will need them next week. I picked them up yesterday. Now we need our piano books and science book and we will have a full curriculum going here.
After lunch we went to the post office, library and bx. When we returned home I had the oldest two do their chores and then silent reading and I did more school with babygirl. We talked about the number 1 and a square and I read her another cow book.
The kids seemed to enjoy school I was a little worried about my social child, my son, but I think he will be okay.
It is almost 8 so I have round up the students and begin
