Wiggles’ day school uses the letter people curriculum.  Here is Mrs. F.  Each week there is a Family activity page to do with your child about the letter person they are learning.

Thanksgiving program!

Wiggles is enjoying day school, but still loves to do his LHTH work at home.  He has a busy week though.  He goes to day school M-F in the morning.  He goes to co-op with us Monday afternoons and when he asks we do LHTH at home. 

Next year, he will likely do LHFHG for kindergarten at home.

Wiggles goes to Day School!

We have decided to put Wiggles in Day School.  Home school and co-op is working beautiful for our bigger kids, but the offerings at the co-op for preschool is not what Wiggles or I need.  Wiggles has also been demanding more attention during schooling the biggers.  This is more often “bad” attention.

I didn’t think that we would find a spot for him, but we did.  The director is also Big Sis’ previous pre-k teacher.  I am very excited for him as he loves having something all his own.  It is also helping him to be around kids his age.  He is the youngest of 4 and everyone else is well past the preschool years.

He goes M-F for 3 hours.  You would be amazed at how much schooling I can do with my 2nd, 4th, and 5th grader during this time.  It has made a big difference in our home school.

I plan to start back our home school with him next week in the afternoon after he has relaxed and rested from day school.  This is what we need for this season in our lives. 

   

The fire dept. came and talked to them and gave them these wonderful hats.  He is enjoying day school. 

Next week, we will add back in our LHTH in the afternoon. 

Week in Review 10/02/2010

Well, we have been super busy lately as a family.  We are selling popcorn with scouts on the weekends as well as playing soccer 2 days a week and practicing soccer 3 days a week.  We also go to co-op one afternoon a week.  As you can imagine, school has suffered.

We have completed about a week’s worth of work in 2 weeks.

All done!

There was more to our weeks than this, but we have really been pushing to finish school.  There hasn’t been a lot of picture taking as much as just being glad we got through the day.

Week in Review 9/11/2010

Wiggles has been sick a lot this week.  From Wednesday on, he has been ill.  Since Tuesdays are our first day of the school week that means he only did 1 day of school.

I am going to try again next week with him and just pick back up Unit 2.

Here are some pictures of some  work he did last weekend to finish out Unit 1.

Tracing the letter Aa with a piece of ice.

Gluing…

adding Cheerios…

Voila!  A perfect Aa!

Hopefully, next week goes better and Wiggles feels better soon.

We had a very good week.  We are using HOD’s Little Hands to Heaven along with some extras.  We did some color association, letter A, number 1, and read about Creation in our first Bible.

We had a pretty good first week.

First Day of School k-3

Wiggles had a pretty good first day.  We did the first day of LHTH.  Then I schooled the biggers and then we went to a back to school party for our home school group.

  

I promised the kids french toast for breakfast and they enjoyed it.

Saying A-A-Adam

His painting.  He drew with white crayon and then painted over it with black tempera paint.  I didn’t dilute it very well though so you really couldn’t see his shapes he drew.

 

Playing play-doh with Bubba while waiting for breakfast.

Thinking putty from Timberdoodle.  This is really cool to let big ones fiddle with during read-alouds….

or letting little ones fiddle with while schooling biggers. :)

Scaling the climbing rock.

Finally playing in the sand.

He was exhausted after such a busy day.  It all went well.  Hopefully tomorrow goes just as well.
