Homeschool Mornings 2011

Here is a picture look into our homeschool routine for this year:

Breakfast

Luke's Chore

Elizabeth's Chore

Emily's Chore: I told her that some jobs in life are stinky!

After breakfast and chores, we get ready for the day. I get Caleb ready first and then he goes into his crib with some books and toys so that he does not get into trouble or hurt.

Learning to take care of ourselves

Bible time: brief time to pray, sing, read, memorize

Preschool for the boys: learning letters, numbers, colors

and, reading two simple preschool books

snack time

Then, table work starts.

Here is Emily reading to our principal who came home early from work.

She does reading, spelling, copy work and math at this time

Meanwhile, the other three amigos watch a 30 min. video

After the video, is table activities and pack n' play time...

Here is Luke with his fav pink/purple tea cup and a Lauri puzzle

(Remember, he does have two older sisters....)

Elizabeth draws and plays with magnetic wooden animals

Caleb has some board books and toys in his pack n' play.

He usually spends about 15 minutes busy before starting to cry to be released.

After Emily is done with her school time, I practice letters and sounds with Elizabeth.

And, she practices writing capital and lowercase letters.

After all these things are done,

I make lunch and the kids run around the house screaming at the top of their lungs.
