Again, we started with the 1st grade Bible lesson, which was just going over the verse, and then we added a Miller's story. I'm thinking about moving this to breakfast, but Rabbit has to be there for that to work.
Next, we read the History lesson. It was about how Rome became a Republic. That was interesting and didn't take too long. After that, we did the Science lesson, which was just reading about cells. The boys loved looking at the book because it had great pictures of different kinds of cells you can find in the human body.
Rabbit had some seatwork: sentences for her vocabulary word, handwriting, math drill, math (it was a "review" page), and a map. It was Exploration Day for 1st grade, so we read a couple of books for science, did some pattern block pages, did a page in the red Come Look with Me book, did a Spanish lesson, and of course, I read to them at bedtime.
Rabbit and I managed to get in an English lesson, and then I helped her with her math page before lunch.
After lunch we did Spelling and put up our timeline piece. We also went over her work and corrected any mistakes.
Overall, not too bad of a day.
I've printed out assignment sheets from Homeschool Tracker Plus for this next week, and marked the things she can do on her own. I put any papers she needs (map outlines, handwriting sheets, etc.) in manila folders for each day of the week, so she'll know where to find them and where to put them when she's done. I'm hoping this will give her a little more ownership of her work and help her get it done.
