We had a pretty succesful start to the homeschool year. Mark and I had a big planning session on Sunday thanks to the Michelsens for taking our kids home after church. Lily is doing really well in her Veritas Press Phonics Museum.
She does Math USee, Bible, copybook, Latin songs, art and gmnastics also.
Here I am with my cross Mommy look.
Even Laura gets some school done. I am concentrating on her learning her letters. She knows all her shapes, colors, numbers, matching things, animals etc... she can sing the ABC song, but now will be learning to recognize them. Lots of flash cards and reading aloud.
Matthew is going to continue to do the 3rd Grade work he has been doing, but we are adding in Veritas Press history this term (Last term her read 'A Child's history of the World on his own and wrote a summary and did an illustration per chapter). I will sit down with him and do history - it is Rome, should be interesting. He does Latin and Greek with Mark. He does literature, math, spelling, film review and chess himself. He does Bible, Latin songs, art and copybook with Lily. And of course he has Karate and Gymnastics. And he does 'Men of Valor', like boy scouts, which is organized by some teens in church. Phew!
