Wednesday, August 17

Schedule of today's school:

Together time:

• Prayer
• Pledge of Allegiance
• Handwriting practice
• Bible: We are still working on Genesis 1. Today we are looking at "God created plants, flowers, trees and animals." The girls had to draw their favorite plants and flowers.

• Alabama state facts: During the time of learning the facts about Alabama, we are listening to this on the computer to help us learn our state song. The Alabama State Song (first verse).

Then we do separate work. I work with P on spelling and phonics while E does hers independently. Then I work with P on math while E works on hers independently also.

E does online for science, social studies and supplemental language arts. P does online for spelling enrichment.

We were planning on starting some Spanish today but math has taken us a little while longer so I think we will wait on that one!!

Funny for today. While working on 1st Language Lessons, we were working on Proper nouns with Payton compared to common nouns. One of the goals of this curriculum is to help your child learn to speak correctly and answer in full sentences. I asked Payton to tell me what her name was and the response should have been was "My name is Payton." Instead she answered, "Me llamo Payton." I laughed so hard that she answered in Spanish. Guess we started that a little today anyway!!!
