Today was our first day of homeschooling. It was so much fun! The girls did such an amazing job! We started a little later than I had planned around 9:30 or so and finished up at 12:30. For a 3 & 2 year old they have a great attention span! We started out the day with the Pledge to the Christian Flag, Pledge to the American Flag, and the Pledge to the bible. Went over the days of the week, the weather, what time it was, and the color, letter, and shape of the day. We did a few worksheets on the color and shape of the day, and then the letter. We went over our bible verse for the week (John 1:3) and then did our bible lesson, and started our family tree project.
We made a new friend as well, his name is "Taco". Taco tells us our bible story which this week we are learning about how "God makes everything we see!" Taco was a huge hit!!
Part of our bible lesson today we talked about chipping away the yucky stuff around our hearts and giving them to God so that we can have a pure heart. I found a recipe online cortices of www.impressyourkids.org of how to make a rock with treasure inside for the kids to break away at. It was a combination of Flour, Sand, used Coffee Grounds, Salt, and water. I mixed it all up and stuck little heart beads inside as the "treasure" then baked it on low heat 170 degreese until it felt hard. I let it sit overnight and they were ready in the morning for the girls to break apart and look for their treasures! They had a blast!! So excited about tomorrow and A's first day in dance class!
