Well, we did it. We completed our first day of school. We had science. We learned about shapes and colors. We mixed colors of paint and wrote in our journal about our discoveries. We have 16 new science vocabulary words. Next, was History/Geography. We learned about ourselves and our differences and how God loves us all and made us each special. We have 9 new vocabulary words for History. They traced outlines of themselves and decorated them. They are hanging in our hallway. Then, was Math. Hunter was kind of bored with the first lesson. I think it is kind of a review. It gets more challenging as the lessons go on. Finally, a bit of Language Arts we touched on suffixes and root words! Wow. Hailey did a lot of Hunter's work. There was a lot of copying involved so she could participate. I will be more prepared for that next week! It was fun to watch their minds work. Hailey will focus on the letter Aa and Number 1 for the next week.
Here is the best part! I started a journal for Hunter for his vocabulary words and sentence practice. At the end of our school day, I told him to write one sentence about his favorite thing from today. He wrote "Being with you mom." Are you kidding me? I started crying. Okay, so I am crying as I write this, too! He made my day. I didn't have the heart to tell him it wasn't a sentence. He did capitalize "Being" and there was a period at the end! I call today a success!
