Our first day of schooling has gone quite well! My posts won't always be this elaborate, but I wanted to give my readers an idea of what we are using for curriculum. After she completed her bookwork we all had lunch and now we are headed to the beach with the babes! Here is an excerpt from the homeschooling journal I am keeping.
Today is the
first day of school for Emily! We are easing into it a bit as not all of her
curriculum is here. To start with we have 3 books from Queen Homeschool
Curriculum. To reinforce spelling we have ‘Learning to Spell through Copywork
Book B’. To reinforce cursive writing we have ‘Pictures in Cursive Book A’. To
reinforce math facts we have “Math Facts for Copywork’. Emily will work in all
3 books today. Emily will complete one lesson in each of these books and then
we will move onto her Kumon books that we use as a curriculum supplement.
For Kumon
books, she has:
Reading Grade
4
Word
Problems Grade 4
Multiplication
Grade 3
Division Grade 4
Decimals
& Fractions Grade 4
Today Emily will
work on Reading, Word Problems and Multiplication.

We worked on reading
comprehension while reading the parents note at the beginning of ‘Learning to
Spell through Copywork’. Emily and I alternated reading paragraphs and then I
asked her questions about what she has just read. See! A lesson even before she
started her lessons in this book! I explained to her that what I was doing with
her is reading comprehension and explained what that was. She said ‘Ohhh!’
