UGG! i just lost EVERYTHING i typed for today!!! AAAK! i hate that! i wish this saved automatically like blogger does!
Ok... so let me retype it all...
First this morning i discovered that i really needed to wake everyone up in a staggered schedule in order to have a more productive day. Once the afternoon hits we all really want to do our own thing, and that's fine as long as we get up early enough in the AM! so Chloe was up when i got up at 6, so she started some "time4learning" which she loves to do. Then I did my devotions, had breakfast, did a little housework, and got alex up at 7. He did his devotions, chores and i had time to help him with his language arts before waking up Nik at 7:30 When Nik got up he had breakfast and did his reading. Then i got up anna around 8 and we were able to start circle time.
As always we did our hymn, then our Bible story and discussion, and then moved on to geography. In the future we'll be alternating geography and history but i've not started them on their history yet... i figured i'd wait till the boys' winter promise curriculum came. so for now we are just doing geography. So we spent a good amount of time reading about Turkey, and mesopotamia, and did some mapwork. Chloe did her mapwork for the first time and it was METICULOUS. She is quite a perfectionist! They marked the seas, the strait, the plateau, as landmarks on their maps.
At that point everyone was getting restless so we had recess outside.
They rode scooters, walked, ran, and anna did what appeared to be practicing being a stewardess :) Finally i called them in and the older 4 did copywork. I had anna practice her name, since she wasn't getting the copywork so well. Everyone else did great.
Now i'm hurrying up and typing all this up since grandpa is here and insisting on going to the ocean so that's what we are doing. I had planned on continuing on with Apologia today to learn about senses but i think i'll make the ocean our science for today. We can expect to see sea anenomies and crabs and hopefully lots of other cool stuff. HOPEFULLY i'll get some good pics to upload later!!
