Homeschool Day 1/20

 Kindergartener

• Read Beginner's Bible - story of Esau and Jacob
• Did an addition workbook page - Kindergarten Math with Confidence
• We skipped reading, because he was objecting before we even started - I think he might need a break - I think reading is becoming difficult, so now he's wanting to avoid it

Five in a Row - Mirette on a High Wire

We drew maps of the inside of our house and took turns hiding "treasure."  We then followed the maps to find the treasure.  He loved this exercise.

We did the Drama section in the teacher's guide.  I read a sentence from Mirette on the High Wire and he acted the sentence out.  He also loved this.

Physical Education

School was cut short by PE today.  It was raining, so doing a sport outside wasn't going to happen.  We met another homeschooling family at a trampoline park and the kids jumped around and played for hours. They were exhausted afterwards.  Five year-old better sleep well tonight!  I think that was 3 weeks worth of PE.
