Monday: 1.5.09

Homeschool got off to a great start in 2009! I was a little apprehensive, since the kids had a two week break, and stayed up late and not on any sort of regular schedule (though I do still have them read a bit!), I thought there might be a bit of resistance to resuming our schooling.

Not only did we have a fantastic day of school, but the children, of their own volition, asked to extend their day by doing more work of their own choosing.

Today we had:

Oldest: Bible, penmanship, social studies, language arts

Middle child: Bible, math, and language arts (sight words & her new “Explode the Code” book we purchased over break (she loves it!), plus reading a chapter of one of the books she got over break)

Youngest: Bible, calendaring, seasons, basic language arts

My husband came home to eat lunch, and we had a family devotional.

All in all, a wonderful start to our homeschooling week!
