Homeschool Continues to go great!

2nd week of homeschool.  It is starting to get a little more normal for us.  The kids are really smart.  I lack significant patience LOL... but we are getting through it.  I love everything that this is doing to our family.  It just (Like everything) takes time to make the transition.

Bible Class is first.  We have memorized Genesis 1:1, 9:1, and 45:9 based on what we are reading that day.  I can't get over how well the kids do with memorization.  This is them making clay Adam with Play-doh.

We do a letter of the day and then Math is next.  This week we have been studying coins.  They can't seem to get that dimes are worth more than nickles because of the size... but we are getting there.  They both love math because they get to use thei animal counters.

We go between science and geography next.  Geography we are doing the 50 states.  So far, we have learned Trenton NJ, Tallahassee FL, Richmond VA, and Austin TX.  (Have to admit I learn these with the kids LOL).  And science is a lot of exploring our back yard.  This is a picture of the kids with a snake skin that Audrey and daddy found during their bike ride.

We have a nice size snack and PE recess after that where the kids can run and explore and have some time to themselves.  They love being outside which I like to encourage as much as possible.  Here is Paulie having a catch with his football.  Both kids throw surprisingly well.

We do individual lessons: Audrey reading and Paulie Speech and then it is pretty much time for lunch.  The kids help me bake A LOT.  They do chores (REALLY WELL).  Here they are emptying the dishwasher.  And we usually play a game or Spuzzle, Go-fish, or Coodies (thanks Grammy) once (or twice) a day.  Life is great here at the Simmerman house.  We are still making the transition but boy is it fun!

Love you all!  Stacey
