Day 3 sept 4

Thursday!  Well another fairly successful day, we completed 3 hours homeschooling bookwork today!

 

I read to them while they were eating breakfast again, but we were early for breakfast, the kids then went and played for 1/2 hr before school started, Nathan is liking knowing an exact time school starts I think, we always look at the daily schedule at breakfast so they know what we are doing.

 

 

At 9 am we started math, I started gigi on teaching textbooks, the workbook pages, this worked well for her, she read the lesson and completed the work, she did lesson 1 and part of lesson 2, she then got bored I think and she played the piano.  Nathan and I worked on beast academy, he is doing skip counting, I realized he is pretty good at skip counting from the math u -see CD, but we were working on counting by six last year.  So I decided to turn it on again while we were driving everywhere.

 

Here is gigis work

I think she likes these word puzzles...

After Nate and I finished 1 page of beast he asked to play a game, so we all played this game together, it is an attribute and colour game, you have to match 1 or the other, fun game, it was quick too!

Next up we did some moving beyond the page, I had to finish reading the second chapter and then we worked on our worksheets, I must be tired, I forget already what the worksheet was about, and I didn't take a picture...  I remember it was on quotation marks and what quotation marks mean, they had to find some examples in the book, and then act out a scene in which there was a lot of dialogue.

 

We then made some owl puppets, to act a scene in the book.  We were supposed to do this on lesson 2 but we ran out of time and I thought oh well, its only a puppet, I should have know we would use them.  The kids had fun making them, I helped Nathan colour and cut out some parts as colouring hurts his hands.

 

 

 

this picture is for you Rebecca, this is our living room after a morning of homeschooling...  Balls are everywhere as Nathan and gigi do physio excercises while I read.  and lots of math manipulatives on the flooe everywhere, all our worksheets all over the floor!  I have yet to get better at organizing all of their work after they are done!  I need to get on that and put all their mBTP stuff in a binder...

We then had lunch and off to physio and music lessons for Genevieve.  It was great to go back, Nathan is a little sore after physio today. 

We then had a bunch of running around to do, picking up our bikes that got fixed, Canadian tire, healthfood store, and grocery store, I am tired now.

Yeah for another great day...
