Today is another typical day of school for us. We all get up and get breakfast. We do not usually do anything special for breakfast. We will have cereal, or eggs and toast. Some mornings though, I will cook pancakes. However, today was a cereal kind of day.
Then we got right to doing our school work. I am very thankful and blessed, for the most part, to have kids who will do school work without argument. Sarah got her History book out and started reading the required chapters. Once she finished her History, she then moved on to her Math. She doesn’t like to do Math, however, since I have changed her Math curriculum, we do not have near as much trouble doing it daily as what we did. For this, I am very thankful for. Sarah is now working on her Science and English. Since she has to write a paper on a disease, I am going to include this as an English grade also. She is doing the report on Malaria. She loves to do research for a paper and I am glad this will be an easy paper for her to write.
I found this awesome website that I have been using with Samuel and Claire. It is www.learningpage.com. It has worksheets up to grade level 3 that you can use with your kids. There are so many different types of lessons that you can learn about. They have sections on the Ocean, Zoo Animals, Space, Dinosaurs, Reptiles/Amphibians and Space. I usually print anywhere from 5-6 pages a day for Samuel and Claire. They LOVE this. I also print out a handwriting sheet from Kid Zone. Kid zone is another website that has a lot of awesome crafts and pages you can do with your kids.
Overall, today has been a good day for getting school work accomplished. We are now having lunch and will be starting on housework soon. It is a cool day and looks like it will be raining soon. So we will definitely be spending the day indoors.
Have a blessed day!
