Our First Day!
Hello everyone, we started the first official day in our learning journey. I implemented my new plan to tackle spelling by introducing the ‘At' family.
We also started our ‘On the farm’ project which will hopefully continue all year through. I am following a set of DeAgostini ‘My animal family' books, which corresponds to a farm set collection. This week’s book was on cows.
The girls were very enthusiastic, I started by reading the first two pages of the book to them whilst they were holding the cows from the farm set. They then watched YouTube videos which reflected what we had read and talked about. Sophia fell in love with a nosy cow who was sniffing the camera and was petting it. She then ran to draw a picture depicting what she had learnt.
Kira told me, ‘It's been a best day ever’. This is a paraphrase from my girls current favourite YouTube artist 'A for Adley'. It is currently Kiras form of highest praise, as you have to work hard to earn her approval, which she does not give lightly. So I'll take it for the first day back.
Sophia drew me this picture to show her appreciation of the day. This is what makes homeschooling special and worthwhile, and makes my heart sing.
I hope you all are having a great day as we did, and that fellow home ed parents have an awesome first day back into their learning journey whenever that may be.
