First Day of Homeschool



Today was Joshuwa's first day of homeschool. We took it quite easy. He did some Math with a curriculum called "Math-U-See." I think it will be a very good curriculum for him. It is hands-on and visual.
Our Reading & Phonics curriculum has not arrived. So, I began searching the internet and found a free online curriculum called "Progressive Phonics." It looks really good. I gave Josh a list of words to read so that I would know where we need to start in that curriculum. Tomorrow, we will dive right in. I am hoping that by May, he will be on a Grade 2 level.
I will also be incorporating Language Arts, Science and History through a website called "Lesson Pathways."
Our gardner's daughter, Violet, and her cousin, Beauty, joined us for school today. They will
also come the next two days before they leave for the village, where they stay with extended family and attend school. Josh loved having friends join him at school.
For PE, we played with a huge frisbee! I tried to hula hoop, but Josh was the best of all 4 of us!

Congratulations on your first day of homeschool. I remember the fear I had on our first day three and a half years ago now. And we're still going strong.
