Unit 1 Day 2

Unit 1 day 2
I'm not really sure that I plan to update this everyday, but for now lets go with it.

I am happy to report that I have received all of the materials that I ordered. But I failed to order the correct bible. I ordered Jesus in Pictures for Little Eyes, instead of The Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes. It's a good book, but now I need to go down and buy the correct one. Oops.

Today we completed the second lesson. Instead of hitting the gym, I took the kids to story time at the local library. Just so happens that it was the kick off day of their summer reading program. So we were there about an hour and a half longer than planned.

Another joy of home schooling....flexibility.

Even though some unexpected activities were added to our morning, we were still able to complete all of the sections. With the exception of the music section, which we will cover after rest time, but I did have to change my plan a bit. In one of the sections today, they made different colored circles and then were to find things around them which had that color. My plan was to take a nice long walk while we searched for the colors. Due to the lack of time, I opted to give my oldest a basket to collect items in the house which matched the colors on her paper. While she did that, I sat with my youngest and named colored blocks in English and Spanish. When the oldest returned we reviewed the colors she found in both English and Spanish.

Side note: After our bible story, but before we begin the other activities from the book, we also review today's date and the days of the week in both English and Spanish. (We use a song she was taught at church.) Then we draw a weather symbol in the calendar for today's weather, i.e. a sun for a sunny day.

Today was a little more stressful, but an over all good day.
