This morning, I woke up to a completed setup for our morning. WOW. She surprised me!
Now, we are ready!
We created a calendar so we had things to look forward to! Tatum filled in each day with our daily schedule, and then we put in our vacations so we can anticipate!
M, W, F: Math (Khan Academy, Math facts (involving jelly beans of course), BrainQuest, Art, Reading
T, Th: Writing (more on this), Bible chat (involving our memory verses practice), Art, Piano, Reading.
As a past English teacher, my DREAM is to teach my kiddo to write …and I mean write stories, ideas…..anything that involves put her heart, mind, thoughts on paper.
So I bought this book with some notebooks to take notes. Our goal: WRITE SOME STORIES!
I am writing with her in my own book. We are starting with writing our own fairy tale, so we take notes on the tools we use to write one.
Fairy tales contain many things like a setting long ago in a made-up land.
We will continue this later!
For our Bible chat, we are going through a couple of books by Lee Strobel. I want her to be confident in her faith in Jesus, so that means she needs to be armed with her WHY she is a Christian. Is it just blind faith? NO!!
We’ll go through both books.
We also have over 100 verses we go through each week.
These are just part of our fun summer, academically. I am adding in lots of play and creativity. Many of the camps she would attend have been canceled, so we must have some other ideas to keep engaged and excited. I believe in unstructured play as much as possible, so this is definitely happening.
More to come! Stay tuned.
