First Day of Homeschool

For a first day this went well. It worked out that I didn't have any daycare kids today so Owen had my undivided attention. The first thing we did was drop off our paperwork for our Intent to Homeschool and IHIP. Which means we started at 8:30. We did a Math pre-test first, he got a 89%, his mistakes were careless mistakes. And I realized he needed more practice on his basic math facts so that his 2 digit addition and subtraction went quicker for him...35 problems took him 27 minutes. We did a page of math facts for practice and then played Chocolate Chip math which is more math facts practice. Math took us 2 hours total.

We moved on and did 3 pages of language arts (nouns, and proper nouns), a phonics activity sorting the two different /oo/ sounds (as in book and moon), spelling word practice, 3 pages of writing (complete sentence practice), and read Stone Soup and he did a writing activity that went with Stone Soup. We took a break for lunch. Then we tried to do a listening activity but turns out the library forgot to take the protective case off of the CD that went with the book, so we took a short trip to the library to have them unlock the CD case. Came home and did our listening activity and then a half hour of Hip Hop dance aerobics for gym(OMG I am so tired!LOL I think I need to invest in some kid excercise videos so I don't have a heart attack!LOL). Then he did his chores and now he has free time and is waiting for the computer.

He told Dan I was his favorite; ) He's going to give his Dad a complex, lol.
