Aug. 15, 2007 - Great first week to school!
We have had such a fabulous first week to school! The kids are really enjoying what we are doing! We get started about 9am and finish by 10:30am. That includes Bible, Handwriting, Math, Reading/phonics, Science and History...for 2 kids! Of course they are still young...3 & 4 but just lovin it all.
Today we are going to play some games for their subjects. Micah(4) is doing Less then and Greater than for math so to make sure he is really understanding it more than just on paper we are going to play a game of war! I also got Leap frogs Letter factory dvd so we are going to watch that to reinforce letter sounds. He read his 3rd HOP book yesterday but I was detecting some slight frustration and and need for phonics reinforcement. It will be a nice change.
I think having a game day or just changing things up with some creative learning will help with any burnout we might have. I want to make sure they are grasping concepts and enjoying learning...rather than just driving through schoolwork day in and out!

You are such a good mom! Just remember it is more about the journey than the results....Enjoying learning is more important than mastering skills. Your kiddos are still so young there is no rush. Your on the right track.
I love the leap frog learning videos and so do my kids!
