Changing It Up

We made a big change to our firstergarten curriculum this week—we stopped our reading lessons. #1 hated them. He would cry, I would get mad, and we got nothing accomplished. I talked to another homeschool mom and a kindergarten teacher and they both said to go with my gut and change it up. So we are still doing lots of reading together and he's still working on his sight words, we just aren't using the text book we were using. Our school time went much smoother this week!

#1 enjoyed learning about Egyptian pharaohs, mummies, and pyramids. He enjoyed it so much, we may carry the lessons over into next week. We check out some pretty cool looking books from the library!  He's doing well with his new math curriculum and also did well on his penmanship.

We incorporated science this week at the dentist and the optometrist! He learned more about taking care of his teeth, saw an x-ray of my teeth, learned about how his eyes need rest after screen time, and saw an image of the inside of his eyeball. He did great for both appointments.

He also enjoyed playing outside in the sunshine! It was a great week!
