Week 1 days 2&3

School is going great...even though not as planned.  Landon has had a little cold and a VERY runny nose plus he went to school on Wen in addition to his normal days because it was picture day.  All of this has caused us to do Home school a little off schedule.  We actually did days 2 and 3 on Sat. and Sun.

Landon really seems to be enjoying our school time together.  He still loves using the pointer, I'll have to get a picture of that, and the "art" of learning.  He sits right down and does everything like we have been doing it for months.  He is such a good boy!

Some have asked why I haven't started with any alphabet activities.  Well,  I wanted to get into the grove of things first.  We will start alphabet activities on week 3.  Here are some pictures from the past couple of days.

Woody needed some writing practice as well:)

I can't wait to show you the finished Creation Book.  I have taken up close pictures of each finished page and will post them all together at the end of the week.  Maybe the video of him saying/signing his Bible verse will accompany it.

We love you all and hope that you are enjoying the posts.  Our next visit to Knoxville is soon...The Buddy Walk is Oct 10.  I can't wait!!

Week 1 Lesson Plans

Home Preschool Week 1 Day 1

Today was so much fun.  It was our first day doing preschool at home.  Landon did great and really enjoyed the Nursery Rhyme, singing time, and most all of the activities especially when he got to use the pointer.

This week and next week we will be learning about how God created the earth.  Today was about day one which is the creation of the Day and Night.  During out ABC time we are going to start focusing on one letter per week in a couple of weeks but to get us started we are just doing some letter matching.  Because Landon already knows most of his letters we are going to use the letter of the week as a review and a spring board to do activities that will encourage reading, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and speech.  The letter matching today was interesting to watch.  I helped him with the first two he drew from the mystery box by showing him where to place the letters.  When he did it by himself, you can see in the pictures,  he put the magnet letters on top of the printed letters.  That was fine but just interesting.  I can't wait to see what he does tomorrow.

Our Bible verse for the next couple of weeks will be Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth".  I taught him the signs today and it was so touching to see him working on it.  I am hoping that by the end of the week or at least by the end of next week he will have it down pat and I can video it to share.   Here are some of the pictures that I took while he was working on some of the activities.
