A new school year! Yippee! I love the routine and structure that a new school year brings! On Tuesday my 7 yr old daughter and a friend of hers (who I used to tutor and now homeschool) began their adventure into 3rd grade with high hopes and excitement! We baked a cake in the morning and did “math” along the way! We learned greetings in Spanish, the 7 continents , common vs. proper nouns, and what to do if our friends make fun of another one of our friends- (Sticky Situations -365 Devotions For Kids and Families). We did math, penmanship, and brainstorming for a story. We have a full day scheduled each day and I am trying to do too much already. It is so fun though, I could get lost in teaching and go on for hours! Unfortunately, they can’t—bummer! I have to give them breaks and “recess”. I am trying to do it all in 5 hours per day with time for lunch and those needed breaks. We have had to say no to a few things already…homeschool P.E.is not happening for us this year, but it is really in exchange for a homeschool gymnastics class, and we may not do Awana this year—but we do Bible lessons each day! My daughter is in a book club and a play…so I know she won’t “miss out.” I have to say no to the other things and even though I know it is the right thing, it is so tempting to want to do it all! That is the challenge for myself this year. Happily homeschooling..... |
