Day 2:

It is taking longer than 45 minutes to complete each subject's daily work.  We are rolling the idea of block scheduling around in our brains.  Also, once we get back into Math practice mode, it won't take us as long to work through one lesson.  Anyway, this post is mostly because I had some pics to share.  Amara loves to bop to the radio while working through lessons/activities, and I usually hover, multitask, and offer assistance when requested. 

 Above, Amara is "notebooking" using interactive "foldables" to house her language arts activities.  Our first unit is figurative language, she is separating sentences into their types.  For instance, "She slammed the door with a whoosh" is an example of onomotopaiea.

 She refuses to smile for this math pic.  She actually enjoys speeding through timed fact practice and the feeling of accomplishment that comes with finishing each section of the lesson.

Borrowing my computer to get her online components of the science curriculum finished today.  Tech support is still working on the problem with her computer and interfacing to the science site.  There are lots of web based lessons to supplement the book and videos and labs.

See you soon!
