I am ecstatic that the girl's math books and math manipulative sets have come! We started the morning with our opening prayer, the pledge of allegiance and the Sing, Spell, Read, and Write song. We went studied the letter sounds flash cards, and then I let A study them on her own. I thought the morning was going pretty well, until my 3 year old nephew had a #2 accident in his underwear. BTW, he is potty training with E. As soon as that was cleaned up, my 15 mo. nephew had a stinky diaper. After that was cleaned up, H and I started on her much anticipated books. She and I breezed through the first 2 lessons. For art, she designed the cover of her math notebook. Then it was time for writing vocabulary and spelling. H does NOT like writing. It took her 1 HOUR to write 11 words and definitions. She drew pictures on her paper. She played with anything in her reach. She asked if she could do the rest for homework. After reminding her that we had a play date at 12:00 and she had 15 minutes left, miraculously she finished 5 words and definitions in 15 minutes.
Our play date was with another homeschooling family that I had met on a walk in the park earlier in the week. I grow more confident in my ability to homeschool when I talk to other seasoned homeschool moms and they encourage me in my efforts and let me know that I am doing well.
