2nd Day of School

Luka and Elyse got out of the car happily and went in with the car circle teacher!

Sylvia and I started at 9am with morning devotions, prayer for students.

Math- filled in our meeting book (date, weather, days until...)   counted forward and backward with hundred chart.  Saw our big hundred chart numbers were out of order, fixed them.  Graphed  and analyzed family member birthdays.  Using the big hundred chart on the wall- found a number and then the one above, below to the right and left of it.  potty break 5 min!  practiced writing one less than and one more than a number. Did Math page 2A together.  finished at 1030.
