M&M Math

Today was M&M math day! We took our M&M's and separated them by colors so it was easier to count them!


Then we separated them onto a graph so we could count them up!
 
 
 After they were graphed we practiced writing out how many there were!
 
 
Then of course at the end they got to enjoy they M&M's they counted!
It didn't take them long to make them disappear!
 
 
Alex also practiced his numbers counting to 100 by 1's, 2's, 5's, and 10's!

It's been a slow start!

So I know we haven't posted anymore about school since our very first day and we are so bummed about that. We have been off to a rough start and need to get our butts in gear! Please be patient as we get into a routine and get our learning rolling! We will post tomorrow about our science experiment we were a part of on Wednesday, we had so much fun and im sure you will enjoy reading it too!

Our Official First Day of School

So today we had lots of fun it was our first official day of school! We started out with what today is and singing the days of the week song that Alex learned in kindergarten! Then we had Journal time, 




Fayth-Lynn draws pictures for her journal time and Alex writes little stories! Today Alex wrote about loosing his first 2 teeth yesterday and how the tooth fairy brought him $5!

Next we drew a picture of ourselves! Fayth-Lynn drew herself, Alex, and Maxymus. Alex drew himself under a rainbow!


We then moved onto the next thing. Alex worked on some math problems and Fayth-lynn learned about the letter "A". She knows what the letter is and knows how to write it, 




When we were done with math and the letter "A", we got in the car and headed over to the library. The kids each borrowed 3 books and they each got to pick out a movie to watch when all their school work is done. When we got back home Fayth-Lynn wanted to sit down and read and write her "A"s. Alex spent a couple hours reading as well. They then spent some time playing outside with their friends and then came in and watched a movie that they borrowed from the library. All in all today was an amazing first day of homeschooling. We hope that you will enjoy following our journey with homeschooling, we know we are excited with what lies ahead of us!

Keep checking back to see how we are doing!
