The Lord placed home schooling on my heart long before I even thought about getting married! This is record of the Lord's work in our lives and in our home school. Let HIS will be done!

First Week of School!

Our first week of school was very relaxed. We worked a lot on Bible, arts/crafts and read alouds. We also worked a bit on math, science and phonics. I haven't re-started history yet and will begin reading Pocohantas and The Strangers after we complete the Magic School Bus chapter book we are reading.

Our Singapore Math books haven't arrived yet (they were on backorder) so we've been using the Math Connects workbook from the summer. We completed our study of the Scientific Method in Noeo Chemistry and will begin Week 8 by looking at Marie Curie.

Squeak is enjoying BJU Bible Truths 1. It begins with Creation and we working our way through that.

Our schedule is Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday = school days. We didn't work on any school Friday night because my niece spent the night! They girls had a lot of fun together.

This coming week, we'll start to buckle down a little more. I also decided to work our subjects in smaller time chunks. No more 45-50 minute math marathons in one sitting! LOL! I love the "accomplished" feeling that goes with it but it just drains me!

Here are a few pictures from the week:

    Definitely break down into more than one sitting things that take so long they are draining! ;-) Sounds like a good first week and hope your math arrives soon.
