First Day of School

Today was our first day of First grade! Yes it's July but that is how we homeschool. June bug did great. We had a bit of struggles but i'm sure they will be worked out soon.

Our homeschool area is our dining room. It's working great! I love dollar store posters. I scored a huge bulletin board off craigslist for $10. 

Mondays are Math, handwriting, reading, science, and poetry(unit study)

Jetty boy is working on Brown Bear Brown Bear what do you see by Eric Carl. A bit like five in a row.  I printed out some worksheets for him to color in according to the book. He did great. But as soon as he was done we ran into trouble. Keeping him quiet and busy is going to be hard. He got sent to his room a couple of times to quiet down. The baby slept in the sling! 

Brain Pop video on the ipad about Poems and hibernation. 

When June bug finishes a subject she gets to mark it off on our chart. This way she knows how much is left to complete. 

Dr. Seuss is a great poet :) Katie had a bit of reluctance reading but did her 5 pages in the end. We use our ipad stand and a clothes hanger to prop up the book. 

We started at 8:30 and ended around 10:30. Great start to the year.
