Day 2 of first week

Posted in Our First Week

Day two is over, it was another great day. I actually had time today to make my kids a decent breakfast (something we normally only do in the summer) and a nice dinner! I always knew that it took alot of time to take Brittany to school and pick her up (getting the twins ready, and out to the van) but I never realized HOW much time!! Of course I have a little more to do at night, such as going over her work, and planning planning and more planning, but it is well worth it!

Here is what we accomplished today:

Brittany worked more on Kansas History (we will be alternating between Kansas and World History). She started reading a book about the Dust Bowl which I am reading along with her. We also did a review on the video she watched.

Spelling: Worked on our first list of grade appropriate spelling words. She looked up and wrote the definitions as well as wrote sentences for each word.

English: Read more of Anne Frank, she will be reading this for awhile.

Family Values: Brittany spent time with me and her brothers as well. She is also going to be doing an hour of chores a day which she started yesterday.

Things I got accomplished today:
Read parts of the Home School Manual that I have checked out of the library and ordered a copy for myself. I also looked into HSLDA, and filled out an application, I am still a little unsure if I will sign up or not, but I am leaning towards it. Started next weeks schedule for Brittany, and ordered a Math and a Writing book from Amazon. Made worksheets for Brittany to work on.

A busy but good day :)
