Day 6

Teaching my son to read.

Today was our first day back after Christmas break!

The first part of the school day was as follows:

50 States songs on youtube, here and here

The Pledge of Allegiance (I have been trying to do this every school day)

Reading

Writing (we use Writing without Tears)

Grammar (First Language Lessons for the well-trained mind)

Then we take a short break that includes a snack.

2nd half of our school day:

Math (RightStart)

History (we read about Daniel Boone)

Science

We are studying Electricity for science this month.

My MIL got the boys Magic School Bus science kits for Christmas!

I thankfully remembered one of them was on the subject we were doing!

We were just going to check it out today but since the first one was easy we went ahead and did it.

I unfortunately cut the boys hair just last night so it was a little short to be impressive.

Like a good teacher I offered up my own hair in the name of science.

These kits are quickly becoming favorites!

I am thinking I might just have to go ahead and get one for every science subject we cover.
