Everything

Today was the first day of homeschooling ALL subjects. It was fun, but we also took a break in between, about half-way through. That seems to be the best way and Anna did okay. She was a little more frustrated with so much material, but she did fine. I think it will be better when we can sit down and do it and then go on with our day. I finally documented in our lesson plan book all the items we are using to teach. The list is long and seems intimidating when you fisrt look at it, but it is not so bad because of the way I use it. Here is what we are using and for what pupose :

*Bob Jones Kindergarten Math (Math)
*Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons (Reading)
*Five in a Row (Story Time, Science, Social Studies, Language Arts)
*Study Dog Computer (Reading, Language Arts)
*Reader Rabbit Kindergarten (Reading, Language Arts)
*Jump Start Kindergarten (A little bit of everything)
*More Little Visits with God (ciizenship, Bible)
*Library Books (Every subject area and fun)

As you can see, it is quite an extensive list and seems to be a lot, but we usually only use one computer program a day. If we do two, we do Study Dog first and then one of the other two. She loves computer time. We also have a white board for free drawing and writing, but using less paper. We tend to use it at the end for a bit of a reward. Anyhow, one day down with all and how many to go??? LOL!! We will be fine and we are both enjoying it. I couldn't imagine her stuck all day in a regualr class and having to be quiet and stay still. LOL. She is doing so good with what we are doing. Even with everything added in, we are less than two hours of work, so I am happy with that. We do about 45 minutes to and hour, take a break, and then do the rest. She likes the break and so do I. Anyhow, I better go for now. We are starting to get ready for the rest of our day. I must work and Daddy works late, so it is off to her Aunt's house for a few hours. Thanks all and please keep praying that my mom's move goes smoothly. Take care.
