It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Polar Express Fun!

We have started getting together with our friend and neighbor once a week for craft/theme day since starting our homeschool adventure. Her little friend is also being homeschooled so it is nice to get the children together. This past week was Polar Express day. We let the girls make hot cocoa and pick out a cookie. Then they got their ticket and boarded the train for our adventure. We read the girls book Polar Express while they enjoyed their treats. Afterwards, we made applesauce/cinnamon train and Christmas tree ornaments. What a fun day!

Happy Thanksgiving

The Beginning of our Homeschool Adventures

Practicing Tracing her A and coloring

Patterning

Cutting Skills

Smallest to Biggest

Pre-writing skills

So...after much prayer, thought and discussion. We have decided to take the route of homeschooling. I am very excited about this adventure. I recently pulled Savannah out of the local preschool I had her in and began preparations for our first day of preschool at home. Today was our official first day and it went great! We are doing a bible story and verse to memorize each week, calendar and morning board each day, as well as working on a letter a week which ties in math, and many other skills. I am using the curriculum from www.confessionsofahomeschooler.blogspot.com
We are working on learning the Pledge of Allegiance as well as The Lord's Prayer. We are incorporating a life skill each month. This month we are working on learning our address and phone number. I have a few other friends who also homeschool their preschooler and we will be getting the kids together once a week for craft time. I am very excited about this next and new step in our lives.

Savannah's Princess Tree

Savannah has been asking for a Christmas tree for her bedroom. So, Joel took her to the store this past weekend. And brought home a Princess Tree. She was so excited! And LOVED decorating it all by herself!
