The Great Homeschool Experiment
Jun. 11, 2007
Week One
Our first week was relatively successful. I think I planned way too much for my almost four year old! In the end, we did quite a bit of workbook work (which she loves), a few crafts, she got to help me cook breakfast on Saturday and she found alot of words that have the letter A in them. The highlight of last week though was Cowboy day. The rodeo was in town over the weekend and Thursday was family day, so I had the girls dressed up in their cowboy best, we made cowboy vests for them out of paper bags, brought their rocking horse downstairs and read a few cowboy books. The rodeo was definitely the highlight of the day, even though we missed most of it. This is B week and we're off to a slow start. I don't really have my plan for the entire week worked out yet, but I do think I'm going to cut to 3 days per week of formal school time. This will give us a full day for errands and a day just for fun. We're also going to see a Peter Pan play at the library on Wednesday, so that should be lots of fun.

Hey Lori,
It is so easy to get carried away sometimes! I'll start the year off with all sorts of "extras" that I want to do and end up cutting them out way too frequently. But! What's nice is you can adapt your schedule to what suits you and your child best- and despite it all, they STILL learn!
Love, Alyssa
