Learning at Home

Hello Everyone! I just thought you might enjoy hearing a little about our homeschooling. Here are some things that we have been learning:

1. We are learning how to write the lower case letter "a". Last week we learned how to write the capital letter "A". Emma Kate is doing very well at writing her letters. She can also tell you what sound that the letter "A" makes as well as pick out things that start with the letter "A".

2. Last week we learned the number "1". This week we are learning the number "2". We have practiced writing these numbers, counting and picking one and two things out on paper.

3. For our Bible lesson today we learned about Adam and Eve. We learned that Adam was the first man and Eve was the first woman. We learned that Adam/Eve disobeyed God by eating the fruit of the tree and suffered punishment for doing so. We learned the importance of listening and being obedient.

4. We have also learned about the Liberty Bell. Today we learned that it was the first symbol of freedom for the United States. We did a coloring sheet on it.

5. We have decided to do a unit study on the Olympics since they will be starting on Friday. Today we learned about the Olympic flag and what it looks like. We colored the flag the appropriate colors and displayed it. Throughout the week(s) of the Olympics we will be doing other activities to help explain what they are about.

6. One other thing that we do is book time. This is where I read to both of the girls. After I am finished Emma Kate picks out some books and goes to her room to read herself.

We are truly having a wonderful time and enjoying ourselves.

Until next time,
Michelle
