One day!

Well, this is day two of the official start to homeschooling. I have decided to go with a gradual approach to starting this September. N (9) does not do well with change.  He was missing a few things from school, mainly his friends, he does not want to meet new friends.  I could tell he was agitated all morning. I broke out the knex this morning and told them it was school, but N could not find anything he wanted to build.  We helped get the parts for his sister G (7), and helped her with the parts that were difficult to put together.  I discovered G is excellent at following knex directions (or lack of directions).  We read a little and then it was time to go to piano. N did not want to go at all.  "I hate piano".  I told him he had no choice it was part if his occupational therapy. We arrived G played first.  I played a game with Nathan called linkology <ahref="http://www.learningresources.com/product/linkology--8482+animal+card+game.do"></a>

It was a great game and we had a lot of fun in that half an hour.  Next it was N turn to play, you would not even know he said he was unhappy about going.  After we had finished he said I love piano, I forgot how much fun it is. We then made a trip to the used bookstore for some new to us books.
