Summary of our first week

Well we had an interesting first week of school. I have already posted about our first day. We had no internet all day, so Nichole (6th grade) who is doing most of her school online with Florida Virtual School had a great 1st day (no school)! We did have a great day with the baby though. Nichole is really enjoying her job as assistant teacher for her sister. Nichole is in charge of Jamie's morning devotions out of the Little visits for Toddlers one year devotions book. Nichole has named this "circle time". Jamie-Lynn is already waking up in the morning asking for circle time. It is so sweet watching the girls together. The rest of the week did not get much better as far as getting anything done thanks to Fay. That is, tropical storm Fay. Since Erik (10th grade) is going to public school and school was cancelled for Thurs and Fri, Nichole felt like she should not have to do school. So, we just laid back and took it easy all week. We did accomplish finishing Jamie-Lynn's first week of Letter of the Week and I have posted a picture of her first poster below. She really retained what we learned more than I thought she would. She knows that a calf is a baby cow. She knows what a square is and she is picking out sqare shaped things around the house. She knows the number 1. Her color this week was green and she can pick out green things around the house. It is really neat to see how much they can actually learn at this age. I can't wait to start again next week!!!!




Having fun with finger paints!
