Week 1 {9/7 - 9/10}

Our first week of homeschooling could not have gone any better! The girls did a fantastic job with everything, and we just had such a good week overall. I really think it just improved us getting along, me spending so much concentrated time with them not be distracted by other things. Our first week we talked about Creation, Adam and Eve, and Noah and the Ark. Hayley really payed attention to the stories and was able to answer most of the questions I aksed. Alyssa answered them with the same answers Hayley gave!

Our God's World Theme for the week was "The Sky" and I picked that b/c I thought it correlated well with the Creation theme. So we talked about the Sun, the Earth, the Moon and the Stars.

For the language parts this week they were to learn to spell their name, which Hayley already knew and then also know their phone number and address. I thought it would take more than the week, but Hayley already has both of those memorized. Alyssa, knows our street name, city and state... but for 2 1/2 I think that is a pretty good start for her!

They also both memorized their Bible verse for the week: John 15:12 My command is this, Love each other as I have loved you.



Like I said, I really don't think I could have asked for a better first week. I was having a lot of doubts before we started, but needless to say, really felt affirmed in our decision to really give this a try afterwards. Here's praying for an awesome year!
