About 15 minutes into our first day of school at home, Ada announced, "I don't want to play school anymore." Awesome. And when I said, "We're not playing; this is really school, and we aren't going to stop yet," she burst into tears. A successful first day, don't you think?
No, really, it got better after that, though she continued to call me teacher and call what we were doing playing. Whatever gets the learning done in a way that will stick.
A says aaaa....

so curious to see how it went...don't worry, we're taking this week "off" after doing three days of it last week! I realized I've got to get my act together as far as planning goes so I won't be flying by the seat of my pants! You're doing better than I am!
Looks like fun!!!! We are trying the curriculum before the letter of the week one. We will see how it goes!!! We finger painted a picture of the letter A and then Micah was DONE!!!
Art class must be going well - I love the drawing on the wall! :-)
YAY !!! Sounds fun! Don't put too much pressure on yourselves...just have fun! You have lots of years left for making sure you get it all in! : ) (That's what I am still telling myself, hahahaha!!!!)
