Week One! Trying it all out.

We are done the first week and starting to get a groove going. We usually start school at around 9am, after we are done breakfast, getting dressed, brushing teeth, and making our beds. I won't always do this, but here is a sample of our week:

ENGLISH

English review.

An alphabet museum of magazine pics.

 Recognizing sounds and matching.

The books that we read as part of our English this week. Ella sings Jazz is about singer Ella Fitzgerald. We had fun looking up her old songs on the internet and listening to her jazz and bepop songs. This English program is great. Mom loves that it incorporates art and music in the language learning. Aiden is loving it too!

 

A Robert Munsch book that Aiden read to us all for fun (and practice).

 

BIBLE (Health and Career)

Our picked faith/character book didn't work out, so for now I just grabbed a kids bible off of the shelf and Aiden is journaling along with it. (He is not used to using single lined paper yet so it is a little all over the place.)

 

ART

This week Aiden learned about lines, strokes, smushes, and really just to play with your paint brush and colors in order to get a feel for it. This turned out great.

 

SOCIAL STUDIES

A map of our home and places Aiden likes to go. I think he was thinking of the bank because he received some allowance from doing all his chores. :)

 

His worksheet. We also rapped C-A-N-A-D-A to learn the letters in Canada. This was the fave subject for the week.

 

SCIENCE

The creation of man. Aiden drew a self portrait to go along with this lesson. (He was in a mood this morning and so I threw in this older activity that was meant for the next level and it seemed to get him back on track a bit.)

 

MATH

Review.

Counting.

 

 

AND SOME EXTRAS

The days.

The weather.

 

PRE-K AND KB (Which stands for Keiry Baby... or as dad calls him, Killer Bee).

And this is where my littles have been. Gemma has been glued to this chair with the smelly markers, and has been so focused on her coloring- something new for her.

Keiran is a little wild still, as he is only two years old, but the both of them have been listening in on the books we read. Altogether, our "test week" went well. Mom has now worked out her planner and we are in homeschool!
