Week 2!

It's so hard to believe we just finished our second week of school already! Wow how time flies. Before I know it the year will be over. This week hasn't been that bad at all. We ended up taking Thursday off and using it as a field trip day :)  One of the many perks of being homeschooled! We found ourselves out at the Holden Arboreum. Basically a giant park! It was very pretty! The rest of the week we kept with our 3 hours a day, or at least close to 3 hours. Here are some of the things we did this week.

Monday we had a lot to do! On top of our normal one letter, and one number we had our story along with the lesson plan for that and we also did a my kindergarten portfolio, something he can look back over the years and see how he changed.

I took this picture just to show lilly laying down watching her big brother do school. She is normally right their, at the top of the stairs or under Georges table. Buddy could care less, we don't see him that often.

While George was cutting somethings out to go along with his story I finished his pencil can.

This week we read "Froggy Builds a Tree House." So with the theme of froggy we made a froggy mask for the activity. Of course George loved this!

As I said we did his little portfolio, and it was to cute not to share!

I weighed him and measured him right before I did this. He weighed in at 48lbs and 42inches tall!

We added his picture on the back, just because it was to big for the front.



I had to tell him when his birthday was, but he was able to tell me how old he will be

Then of course a family picture. This was actually taken May of 2011, at sea world. And I asked George if he had any brothers or sisters and he made sure we included Buddy and Lilly

Then we found pictures of his grandparents! He loved adding these!

I had to tell him our address

And the phone numbers.

He told me his favorite color was purple, although he always wants blue or green things. His favorite food is a sandwich. and his favorite song is the theme song from transformers! Kids say the craziest things!

Then his favorite book is "Where the Wild Things are" and according to George its about "Max goes to the wild things forever and ever and cant go home."

Like I said the book was to cute not to share!.


Just a picture of him writing the letter Ff on the board.

He filled in the blanks and then we wrote a few words.

Told you she likes to hang out near him!

This is just a picture to show what the top of my dryer looks like on any given day (this was Wednesday) and this was only the stuff for the afternoon lesson plan!

I took over another shelf in the laundry room!

My lesson plan book from last week. It's kinda hard to really see but its packed full!

I made George a really cool little puzzle with the letters of his name!  He loved it.





Practice writing his name

Learning about money, what each coin is and how much its worth. We will have to do this a few times before he really gets it. But he is starting to

Like I said we went out on Thursday and it was great! A picture of me, George and our friend Christy who took us out!

George LOVED looking in the water. He was telling us about frogs and lilly pads. So cute





I thought he was going to fall in at this point.

                                


Again looking over the edge

He was ready to walk off the path and down the stream.

 Nice one of me and George, just wish he would have smiled!

 Hanging from a tree!

Today we got back on track and did 2 letters and one number. Not to bad either. 





Here he wrote "mom" all by himself. We still have to work on making the "m" a little better but he did this from memory, didn't see the word mom anywhere so I was pretty happy.

This is a picture of the number cards we correctly put in order :) We do this with ABC's as well and usually do it everyday.

So in a nutshell that was our week 2. I am hoping for a great week next week, and Monday is a holiday so we are taking it off like the public schools do! Hope everyone enjoyed seeing how are week was!
