Homeschool Day 2/1

 Kindergartener

• Kindergarten Math with Confidence - I taught a lesson from the Teacher's Guide.  He had a hard time with understanding ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd), which was baffling.  I mean, I thought he knew those!  We used plastic farm animals to work on ordinal numbers and simple addition.
• Handwriting without Tears - letter N
• Bible story from the Beginner's Bible- Jacob and Esau
• All About Reading - built some more CVC words - he can't tell the difference between b, d and p
• Ballet class

Five in a Row - Ferdinand

• We read Ferdinand and he did the Dramatic Play section - he turned off his bedroom lights, turned on his red LED light strip and put on a play about squishamals who rode motorcycles and escaped a flying dragon

15 Year-old
