Yesterday was fantastic! Better than I ever imagined it would go. It was fun. I was called "Yes, Miss Hannigan." Ha ha! We had math struggles, but science was a hit. Our schedule didn't go as I thought, but we still got through everything. We just enjoyed our time and didn't stress over how long things took. Some things went longer and some things were much shorter.
Enjoying a little cartoons before school started.
Our first agenda was to make our first day signs. I wanted them to make them this year. I normally print some out, but thought it would be more enjoyable if they created them.
Our fierce and sleepy "mascot" was at our sides. She made a good reading buddy.
After making signs we got started on calendar work.
On to language arts. Because both kids are at different levels, I had Xander work on his reading while I worked with Sterling. Then when it was Xander's turn, Sterling working on her writing. This wasn't in my "plan," but being flexible is what worked for us yesterday.
After finishing her writing she worked on building things until it was spelling review time. She was confused at why she had to do spelling on her first day. ha! She's still wired for her Kindergarten schedule.
While I made lunch, they did PE.
After lunch, we did Math. Xander complained a bit when it was subtraction time, but he made his way through. We did workbooks, apps, and white board. I ended up telling him that if his Math wasn't done by 2, he would have to finish it after our science lesson and not have Ozmo time. It motivated him and he finished it without further complaints.
They loved the science lesson. We learned about the Earth and the Sun. At last minute I decided to pull up the Internet and find some fun videos. Xander actually watched this one in first grade he said.
Little Lulu made it through her first day of school. She was a pretty chill mascot.
After dinner, it was time for Lu to go to her real school. Good thing she had lots of practice. She was a wild one, ha!
I don't expect every day to be this easy or fun, but we'll get through it. The "honeymoon" phase is pretty awesome 😉
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
