We actually started on Friday when most of the books came. (still waiting on others, but it's ok.) Friday we did the reading and outline and read Noah's Ark fictional story (In The Days Of Noah - part 1). The kids could have gone on doing school all day long, but I had to get going! LOL! I find that it's taking us until about 1:30 stopping only to have lunch. (Well that includes breakfast, walk, cleanup, etc. too) I'd say a total of 2 - 3 full hours working together. Then they have their independent work in the afternoon. (Little Bear doesn't have any right now until she gets her reading books and math book). She's VERY VERY excited to begin, but in the meantime she's just happy to be involved SOWing.
Speaking of, she really liked doing the outline. Today we worked on the Vocab/Topic and I think I decided that I'm not going to do that page each week with her. It's just a little too much. I was glad we were able to talk about it today and we did the sheet together, but it was just over her head to do all the time. I might even skip it for Superkid, we'll see. Oh, then we learned about Polystrate Fossils and drew our own pictures of them.
(This is my own drawing on the white board...yes, I know...and yes, they do get worse!)
That's about it so far. Tomorrow (or maybe tonight with Daddy!) we'll be doing either a model of Noah's ark and/or making our very own fossils!! The kids will really like that. We also have a few library books about geology to read.
We're working hard on 1A6 and I think maybe, just maybe...we'll be getting it totally done with in a WEEK! Oh, the joy of actually figuring out what it is I'm doing over here is beautiful!! Seriously.
Check in later with more pictures...
