We've been working on a unit on eggs and birds. We have some eggs in the incubator that are supposed to start hatching tomorrow. Everybody is really excited about having chicks.

We've gotten quite behind on the school blog. We've had lots going on since the last posting. All three kids are having to be referred to a specialist due to health problems they've been having. We've been doing school though, even in the midst of everything going on. Today we played learning games on the computer, listened to Chicka Chicka Boom Boom being read, listened to music, put puzzles together, and worked on color and letter identification. We even sang the alphabet song.

The Start of a New School Year

We've started a new school year and everything is going great! We're working on learning the letters of the alphabet and starting on reading, with Mommy's help. This week we learned about the letter A and next week we're learning about the letter B.

I've been quite off track with posting on my blog here lately for lots of reasons. Nevaeh had to have tubes put in her ears in June and has had pneumonia twice. We've also been quite busy with homeschooling. This week our theme is airplanes/anything that flies. The shape of the week is triangle, letter of the week is A, color of the week is white, and the number of the week is 1. Yesterday we made a helicopter out of pieces of construction paper cut into triangles. We also did painting and played on the new swingset we just recently got. Just recently we started using the workbox system and that's going great! I love the new system.

This week we've been gathering the pictures and minibook ideas, along with other information that will be going into our train lapbook. We're starting lapbooks this month and will be learning so much! We're all really excited about this!

Today we watched shows all about trains and started on our train lapbook. So far, we've put a minibook about the different colors that trains come in and put lots of train pictures in it. We also listened to a tape of a story all about a train trip. We had lots of free play time and watched "Signing Time" to help us with our sign language.

September 28 - October 10, 2008

We've been working on lapbooks for the alphabet. We started one for the letter A. We put in minibooks and pictures of stuff that starts with "a". We'll be working on these til the week of Halloween. We can't wait to start on Halloween stuff!!
