So today, we started our preschool year when the area schools started... It seemed to go very well... I bought a preschool kit for O for Christmas, plus I have other material to use as supplement... I'm also making a calendar that will portray which 180 days we will have lessons, what I plan to work on with him, and what we accomplish... This should also work as a way to help Greg know where we are in his lessons, which means that he can help out on the days that I can't work with O... So here's to attempting to home school... Wish us luck, pray for us and cheer us on :-)
So are you wondering how the first day went? I think it went rather well... We used the "magna-doodle" and transparencies to practice facing shapes/forms that will come in handy when he learns to print... He can do vertical and angled straight lines fairly well, circles/ovals decently (not necessarily doing the one that he says he'll do), curves like C's and backward C's easily become circles when not tracing and hills and valleys (like n's and u's) also weren't as easy if he wasn't tracing... Considering I've always just let him draw with no direction, I think it was an excellent start!
Now I need to get the office recleaned so I have a good homeschool room...
