The FIRST day of a new full year!

Well i dove in. I started the new year instead of waiting. I felt a bit frustrated at first but we will get in the groove and it will be easier. Part of it was because of everyone distracting everyone and then Lana not having something to do.
So what did we do today? Well Everything BUT Health.


First we did Bible. Candice made Josephs Coat.

Then Candice worked on ETC Book 1 (which she breezed through) the 2 pages) and Writing.


That wasnt even the BEST part of today though!! I gave Candice 3 books in her Reading workbox. 2 Bob books or a Reading Rods book- She read the RR book ALL ON HER OWN!


The girls worked on Math

Candice and I then did History and Science. Lana played with the magnets a little and pestered us mostly. :)


Overall? The day went great and we finished everything!





Our Schedule

I hope this is our schedule. Of course things will change as we start to get started (which I am going to go ahead and do now instead of waiting til January).

Everyday will be:
Bible
Reading
Writing
Spelling (waiting on on curric)
Math
History
Science

Then hopefully.....
3 days a week: Art (waiting on curric)
2 days a week alternating: Music (waiting on curric) and Health.

Im kind of waiting on Art and Music only because i dont know what the curriculum schedule may expect. Im assuming 2-3 days a week.

It sounds like a TON for Candice, but I think we will move farther along in things and it wont be boring. Lana will join us for Bible and Phonics. After that, shell have independent quiet time. I am waiting on some things from Rainbow Resource, but shell have a basket of things to choose from. I am going to pick a few things though each week, not give her the whole basket at once.

10) Music

I folded a piece of cardstock on 1/2 for now and on one side is the pic of the subject and one side says DONE. Ill get velcro circles in the next day or two.
