Back to school!

We are back to school today! We have taken a break the past few weeks because we were out of town and busy with other things. I enjoy our flexible schedule. We have kind of worked ourselves into homeschooling year round and taking breaks when we need to as opposed to hard set breaks for summer, etc.  We do take several weeks off for Thanksgiving and Christmas but in reality the kids are learning every single day even if we aren't technically "schooling".

I like to start each school day with Prayer, The Pledge of Allegiance, Character Studies (Polite Moments booklet), Calendar time (in which we discuss what day it is, upcoming events/holidays, the weather, etc.). Then we move on to either individual studies or working on something as a group like studying a certain holiday or a craft or science experiment.

Mikayla is going to work on her Bible Study Guide for All Ages, for Math she will be working on "telling time" worksheets, most of our time will be spent working on her Memorial Day lapbook because Memorial Day is fast approaching!

Tony is using More Starfall on the laptop.  He is working on the daily calendar and math sections.  He will also work on some alphabet skills.

In reality we only made it through calendar time and the Memorial Day lapbook for Mikayla although Tony did all that he was scheduled to do...

 We will do better tomorrow.
