Tomorrow begins our first full week of homeschooling and Alexandra couldn't be more anxious. I cherish her genuine enthusiasm. Monday we will begin, joined by another homeschooled kinder-gardener who lives nearby. Together, we will start on our critical thinking curriculum which is mainly puzzles designed to train their little minds in the art of figuring things out. I look forward to giving her these higher order thinking skills and she loves puzzles so no problem there. The remainder of the time, I thought I would let them choose from several games I though up, including practicing writing numbers with fingerpaint, measuring/counting ingredients for snack-time cookies, etc... on second thought, maybe I will let them choose one each - who says no to cookies.
I will be back from dropping the boys around 9 and need to leave to pick them up at 1... plenty of time. I may need more plans...Perhaps we can do some physical education and work in some swimming. It's simply too steamy for me to supervise much else!
