Ok, so we're going to be starting our next semester. I'm SUPER excited and so is my son! Last semester (which was also my first attempt at homeschooling), I didn't have a ton of structure. I let my son guide the learning, which was great....to a point. I think we ended up playing more than learning, which I'm not against at such a young age, but frankly if I'm going to be spending hours getting lesson plans ready I want him to at least learn something.
I've broken the lessons down into short little "spurts" of learning. Instead of trying to teach a ton, we're going to try to opposite and teach little short lessons. I'm hoping he'll retain a bit more.
We'll be doing Word Study, Shapes, Math, Calendar Study, Science, Time Machine - Extinct Animals, Writing Prompts and Reading.
Well....at least that's the plan. As I learned last semester, things don't always work out the way intend. But that's all part of the learning experience, right? Even us homeschool moms and dads need a learning curve!
I'm going to be adding my new lessons to my current tabs, then adding a new tab for the Time Machine - Extinct Animals lessons and science lessons. Thanks so much for your patience!! I'll be posting the lessons within a week!
