This was our first week of school and it went great! We read Genesis chapters 1-10 and went through the creation of the earth. Here is an idea of our daily schedule:
We start with Bible devotions and reading our daily proverb; they then do their math; their history and Bible is through Tapestry of Grace; Geography, writing and then reading. We also, started a Bible timeline and have strung it across the wall. Julianna is starting Kindergarten this year, which is really cute, so this week we focused on the letter A. On Friday's we have our pretend co-op day (since our co-op was canceled) where we focus on: Bible; Science; Latin and Greek Root words; IEW (a writing program where another family comes over and does it with us); Tapestry history projects and Fun things!
Our first field trip is in September to Conner Prairie. Other field trips this year: Tuttle Orchards; Creation Museum; Children's Museum. We also have four unit celebrations scheduled where we will showcase the children's work, other homeschool families will participate as well and we will invite others to celebrate with us to encourage the kids.
The picture above was taken this Friday when the kids made a salt map diagram of the world showing it's, core, crust, etc. Jenavieve was napping at this time and the two extra children are friends that joined in on the projects. As well as this project, they also went out back and measured Noah's Ark, 450 feet by 75 feet, it gave a nice visual.
Well, keep us in your prayers and may God Bless you.
