We got in a pretty good homeschool day today!
Art
Jem and Katie enjoyed painting with the new 'school' paints, Jem is making a poster board for his Garbage Study to show Daddy in a little presentation on Saturday or Sunday.
Unit Study
We read "Garbage Trucks" and learnt about the different types of garbage trucks there are, reviewed the new words we learnt about trash and such, what happens to garbage after it gets picked up, lots of casual chatting about it all... Jem told me back a bunch of new knowledge he picked up from my reading to him (oral narration)
Reading/Writing
Using Jem's sight words I made a simple sentence and left him to read and copy it in his notebook. I have found he puts so much more thought into his work if I just leave him to figure it out on his own. When I would hold the sight word cards for him he would struggle a lot and look to me for help. But then I gave them to him as I was busy doing something else and to my amazement I overheard him rattle them off with no mistakes!
Math
Jem picked out some math flash cards for himself and did them with only one mistake. He counted to 20 on his own with no mistakes, and went on with a little help from me up to 30.
Nature Study/ P.E
Jem measured his bean plant again, and there was lots of running, swinging and jumping going on outside this morning.
