September 7th- First Day of Co-Op
We had a great first day at the Arch Angels Co-Op at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church. (Lovingly called SEAS, for future reference!) The kids also know it as "the church where we ride bikes with Hylands in the parking lot". Here are some pics of what we did:

3rd day of school- September 6th, 2012
Start 915- (ran to library to pick up books on Roman civilization that were on hold for our trip to Roper Mountain Super Saturday this weekend)
Sept. 6 devotional, student prayer, worked on the Memorare and what the vocab words mean.
Math- calendar, weather, counting forward and backward, did worksheet 3. telling time to the hour. We also worked on math flashcards- half past, quarter past the hour and writing down the time.
Reading- Devotional Stories ch. 2. St. Edmund Campion - vocabulary- seminary, sacrifice, disguise
Grammar- more capital letters, we did page 4 instead of reviewing page 3, but now I see that the topic of capital letters relates to the next faith and life story. lesson learned to not work ahead.
Spelling- 15/15 words correctly on spelling test!
Handwriting- Copying sentences neatly.
Geography- colored and labeled map geography of North America. Read about Omar from Cancun and Nicole from L.A. in the D.K. children from around the world book. These are very cool books!
Pictures of our day today to follow!
Great day!

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.
Faith and Life- Re-read chapter 1- Our Heavenly Father and did the activites in the workbook. Ended at 9:40. She will do the coloring parts of the activity at rest time.
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.
Rest time work:
Grammar; Did page 1 that we forgot to do yesterday. Took her 2 min after I read her the directions.
Literature/Reading: The Book of Virtues by William Bennett. We read the story on pg 24 entitled Please under the self- discipline section. Sylvie LOVED it and LOL and asked me to read it again. We will read it again tonight with Luka.
Spelling: Did page 3 more at and op words. Took 5 min. Its 11:05
Map Skills- Map worksheet of a bedroom. learned right/left and near/far. 10 min
Time- did an entire deck of time cards, digital are easiest, clocks are harder. only did the 1/4 marks so far in that deck. 10 min
Typing- Loves the Disney Lion King typing CDrom. Went straight to the game and got all right but 3 without looking at hands (after only one 15 min practice session last night!) Very happy with herself. Moved on to the next lesson! (a ; s d)
More to come later on today! We have swimming lessons at 4pm.
Preschool update: Elyse asked to go pee on the potty and did! Luka had a great day! Kids watched Schoolhouse Rock- Grammar while I made lunch.

September 4th, 2012
The first day of preschool and homeschool got off to a great start!
Since Sylvie and I walked Luka and Elyse into school, we didn't get started with our work until about 9:15, but still accomplished a TON in the time we had.
Started with the Student's Prayer and the Sept. 4th devotion page from Everyday Blessing- 365 simple devotions for the very young.
Faith and Life- read Ch1. Our Heavenly Father- vocab words- heaven, soul, bible and learned how to read chapter and verse.
Math- Set up meeting book calendar- reviewed counting forwards, backwards, 100's chart, weather graph, right and left. We need to work on counting backwards!
Spelling- Short vowels a and o. did the workbook page and wrote words in her spelling journal too. This was super easy for her.
We took a 10 minute or so break to have a muffin and jump rope for a while.
Grammar- Worked on capital letters workbook pages
Science- Read the preface of Behold and See and read assigned pages 1-6 about tools.
Reading- Devotional Stories for Little Folks- read Ch 1 and answered the critical thinking questions.
Handwriting- Did week 1, lesson 1. Handwriting is still not her best skill. We tried to hold the pencil correctly- pinch it- and had to go back to the way mommy holds it. bummer. did a lot of erasing and trying again but a lot of encouragement too!
Music- Recorder! We worked on the first 3 pages in the book: about your recorder, how to hold your recorder and playing a note. It was tricky because her hands are small and have to stretch to cover all the holes. She got it a few times, but will definitely need work! We ended up taking off the foot joint that had the last two holes for her pinky. She really cant reach that yet and it sounded the same without it anyway.
No news from preschool, so that is good news I guess?
For rest time, Elyse napped in her crib and the on the floor also. Luka read 3 cat in the hat books. His reading is really coming along and I know he is excited about it! Sylvie read Chs 1-4 of the original Winnie the Pooh, arranged our magnet calendar, and then she and Luka both put together the big Hundred Chart from Grandma- Even numbers red, Odd numbers white.
After dinner we had family bible story/devotional time. Reread the Sept 4th page and also the Little Folks book from Sylvie's reading time for Luka to enjoy and learn from. Read about the annunciation and also about Elizabeth, Zechariah and John the Baptist.
Then Sylvie and I went to the library. We found a Timon and Puumba typing Cdrom, one on listening skills and a Schoolhouse Rock DVD on Grammar. Sylvie learned how to use the library computer to look up books and how to find a non fiction book with the dewey decimal system if that is what it is still called! I'll have to find out! =)
Great day all around!
Looking forward to tomorrow!
